The Cardiac Center at Nemours Children’s Health
When people think about heart disease, they may think it is a disease of older people. The reality is, about 40,000 babies are born with a congenital heart defect (CHD) every year in the United States. In fact, CHDs are the most common birth defect. Our team of highly trained pediatric heart specialists and surgeons have come together for one purpose: to improve the lives of children with congenital (present at birth) and acquired heart issues. Our care can begin before birth and continue to adulthood and beyond.
