Conquering CHD is a one-stop shop for patients with congenital heart disease and their families. As a parent of two CHD patients and a Patient Advocate, I am able to access local support from other CHD families, education on the latest advancements in cardiac treatment and research, as well as participate in legislative advocacy.
Conquering CHD has given me the resources to best advocate for my children and their care and has connected me to a national network from which to learn from and grow with. My family will grow with Conquering CHD, as my children transition to adolescent and adult CHD providers, and eventually manage their care solo. Conquering CHD supports the CHD patient over their lifetime and that's something none of us can go without.
Volunteers in Wisconsin provide much-needed support and comfort during difficult times. They host events to celebrate the good times. They provide education and resources when patients and families need it most. They are truly changing the landscape of congenital heart disease, one patient at a time!
