Information on Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)and Congenital Heart Disease

In response to the Coronavirus and your child with heart disease, please make sure you are relying on the official Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website for accurate information. In the most recent link (3/8/2020) they provide precautionary measures that you can take, symptoms, and what to do if your child gets sick. The main take away is to remain calm but attentive! We, as parents, are not foreign to fear as we experience this on a daily basis with the flu, RSV, etc. We know as of now the flu is a far greater risk to our children.

For those that are around children with heart disease and their families, we ask that you be considerate of the health risk at this time. The obvious is to keep illnesses away but one great way to support them during this time would be to avoid bodily contact.....we love a smile and a wave.
