Nearly 1 in 110 babies are born with congenital heart disease, making it the No. 1 birth defect in the nation. Congenital heart disease causes nearly one-third of the infant deaths that result from birth defects. The University of Michigan Health Congenital Heart Center at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital (www.mottchildren.org), is one of the largest and most experienced pediatric heart programs in t
he U.S. It is also an international referral center for kids with complex congenital heart disease. Our center provides the most advanced care for infants, children, and adolescents with all forms of heart disease, as well as for adults born with congenital heart defects. We aim to lead the way in improving quality of life for patients with heart defects by:
• Creating systems that allow congenital heart survivors to thrive
• Connecting heart centers across the country to enhance standards of care
• Enabling more research and faster discoveries
• Providing personalized medicine
• Developing innovative devices and therapies
