Preparing for Your Child's Heart Surgery

At the Children’s Heart Center, we specialize in caring for children who have congenital heart defects, and for those patients who develop heart defects later in their childhood or teen years-also known as acquired heart disease. Dedicated pediatric cardiologists, cardiac intensivists, pediatric anesthesiologists, pediatric heart surgeons and staff work together to heal thousands of children with heart problems each year.

    Lot of updates since we were there. Son went there at 2 days old 12-31-86 & had Right Blalock/Tussig shunt surgery that year & Fontan/Glenn at 5 years. He's doing amazingly well. Cudos to Dr. Willis Williams & Dr. Raviell.

    I am praying for all of you. As a nurse who takes care of these children, please know we love your daughter and care for your needs during this time. Ask questions when you have them, and use your voice. That is what helps us the most as caregivers on the same team. Our love for your daughter and your/our teamwork. Best wishes. There will be a time when you look back at this and say....wow....remember that?....remember when? Know we care.
