Healthcare Provider
We seek financial support and referrals from those who value our goals to:
- Measurably reduce caregiver stress; remove socioeconomic barriers, provide convenient access to healthcare
- Diminish acute care visits as pertaining to CHD diagnosis; improvement in compliance is seen when appointments are maintained
- Foster specialist collaboration; having a multi-disciplinary approach provides for optimal patient outcomes, as many children with CHD have additional underlying medical conditions and chromosomal anomalies
Partnerships with hospital systems & clinicians are fundamental to making a meaningful difference in the lives of cardiac kids & their families
Compliance is often a situation of circumstance for children living in impoverished communities.
Impacting the Family
Many parents of children with serious cardiac illness report emotional distress that affects the well-being of the patient and their entire household.
- Risk of losing employment for taking time off work for medical visits and hospitalizations
- Costs associated with medical bills, obtaining childcare for other siblings, fuel, parking, meals at the hospital, and more
- Finding reliable transportation to get to and from appointments
- Neglecting marriage and children due to feelings of overwhelmingness
