RESOLVED TO
Overcome CHDs
Our work to fund groundbreaking research,
global collaboration, and holistic well-being initiatives
is critically important.
Why?
Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are the #1 cause of birth
defect-related infant illness and death in the U.S.
Globally, as few as 30% of babies born with a CHD survive beyond
their first year. In the U.S., only 50% live past childhood.
CHDs are approximately 30 times more prevalent than Cystic Fibrosis
at birth, and 60 times more common than childhood cancer.
In addition to CHDs, many survivors must endure significant
physical and cognitive challenges over their lifetime.
Most of those with CHDs that have been surgically repaired
are not permanently cured and need life-long medical care.
