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.
