Imagine your baby being born with a congenital heart defect. One that may require life-saving surgery shortly after birth. 

Roughly 1 in 110 families will face this frightening reality. Their baby’s heart might have leaky valves, a hole, or half the structures needed to live a healthy, happy life.

Just a few decades ago, many congenital heart defects were universally fatal. We have made amazing progress. At the Congenital Heart Center at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, we’re helping children with congenital heart defects to not only survive, but thrive. 

Our history of pioneering innovative treatments and comprehensive medicine puts us in a position to shape the future of congenital heart care. Your gift can help:

• Drive advances that provide safer, more complete care
• Increase collaboration to enable more breakthroughs
• Personalize therapies to make therapies as effective as possible for each child
• Create new opportunities as we train the next generation of leaders in the field

Our Congenital Heart Center is an international referral center for kids with congenital heart disease, and one of the biggest and most experienced pediatric heart programs in the United States. 

You can help ensure that children with heart defects celebrate more birthdays, more holidays, more big games with teammates, more graduations, and more time with friends and family.
