About the Adult Congenital Heart Association.
The mission of the Adult Congenital Heart Association is to improve and extend the lives of the millions born with heart defects through education, advocacy, and research.
The Adult Congenital Heart Association (ACHA) is a national not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life and extending the lives of adults with congenital heart disease (CHD). ACHA serves and supports the more than one million adults with CHD, their families, and the medical community. They work with them to address the unmet needs of the long-term survivors of congenital heart defects.
What is Congenital Heart Disease? Why is it sometimes referred to as a Heart Defect? What are the resources available through ACHA? Here are some examples, just to name a few: Clinical Directories, Research, Living with CHD and Heart to Heart Peer Support.
This show is personal to Emily. Including, her personal and professional success stories. What have been some of the challenges along the way? Emily is dedicated to helping others know what they can do to have the latest information regarding Congenital Heart Disease. Connections really matter.
