Mended Little Hearts Webinars

Conversation with Mark Roeder of The Adult Congenital Heart Association (ACHA)

Do you have a child with congenital heart disease (CHD) and wonder what resources will be available as your child grows into adulthood? In this session of our “Conversation with” series, we will interview Mark Roeder, President and CEO of the ACHA, to learn more about the many things ACHA offers CHD patients and families. We will also explore more about how Mended Little Hearts partners with ACHA to support, educate and advocate.

 

 

Exercise and Congenital Heart Disease

The Economic Burden of Congenital Heart Disease Treatment on Families

Jean Connor PhD, RN, CPNP, Director of Nursing Research for Cardiovascular & Critical Care Services at Children’s Hospital of Boston, will present information on the economic burden of congenital heart disease treatment on families. Rising healthcare costs and cost shifting by employers, healthcare organizations and insurers have resulted in higher out-of-pocket payments for families who have insurance. For families of children with congenital heart disease (CHD), medical and non-medical costs associated with the condition begin almost immediately. Medical and surgical advances in the treatment of CHD have allowed previously life-threatening defects to be managed as chronic illnesses. This webinar will review research conducted by Jean Connor on the meaning of cost for families of children with CHD.

Cardiac Catheterization

In this webinar, Dr. James Kuo of Cook Children’s will talk about cardiac catheterization. Many children with congenital heart disease will need a cardiac catheterization at some point in their lives, and this can be scary for kids and their families. Dr. Kuo will explain what cardiac catheterization is, why it is done, how it is done, and what else can be done during a catheterization. We hope this information will make parents and caregivers feel more empowered when making choices in caring for their children.
