CONGENITAL HEART DEFECT AWARENESS DAY
About Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Day
The final day of Congenital Heart Defect Week is Congenital Heart Defect Day. CHD is considered to be the most common birth defect, and is a leading cause of birth-defect related deaths worldwide.
Despite the fact that CHD affects approximately 1.8 millions families in the U.S., a relatively small amount of funding is currently available for parent/patient educational services, research, and support.
By sharing our experiences and providing information, we hope to raise public awareness about conditions that affect approximately 40,000 babies each year in the United States alone.
