What a beautiful day at Brookhollow’s Barnyard! ☀️🐐

Our CHD Coalition families enjoyed a wonderful day filled with fun, laughter, and time together. It was so great to see everyone making memories and enjoying each other’s company!

Here are some of our favorite moments from the day! 📸❤️

⭐ AMAZING ⭐
A first-of-its-kind adjustable valve has been approved by the F.D.A. This device can be expanded over time through a minimally invasive transcatheter procedure.

❤ This is why we fundraise at our CHD Walk for Hope every year... to advance innovative, life-saving CHD research ❤

More details here:

The FDA has approved the first size-adjustable pulmonary valve for children with congenital heart disease, enabling minimally invasive expansion as patients grow.
