One of the nation’s leading ACHD programs: The Herma Heart Institute is home to the largest ACHD program in the state. We work in conjunction with Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin health network to offer the specialized expertise you need to live life to the fullest. Our program is an ACHD Comprehensive Care Center accredited by the Adult Congenital Heart Association, making us as a leader in adult congenital heart disease care and management.

Expert care from specially trained providers: We have six providers with advanced training in adult congenital heart disease. They are very qualified to provide expert care to those with ACHD. They truly understand your heart’s unique structure, anatomy and function.

Care closer to home: In addition to Milwaukee, our adult congenital heart disease specialists have clinics throughout Wisconsin and upper Michigan.

Ancillary Services:

• Healthy Lifestyles Program: A free, 12-week program that promotes weight loss through diet and exercise modification.
• Marfan Syndrome and Connective Tissue Disorders Program: The largest in the state and recognized nationally for its expert care for adults with these rare genetic heart disorders.
• Webinar series: Free, educational webinars for all adults living with a congenital heart defect and their loved ones.
• Mental health: All ACHD patients undergo a mental health screening at each appointment. If the screening is positive, patients are referred to one of our mental health providers. They have experience working with patients affected by chronic illness, specifically those with congenital heart disease.

Compassionate staff: Our staff are there for you at every step of your heart journey. They are ready to support you, answer questions and help you feel confident in your health decisions. They can help you pick what exercise program is right for you, what kind of anesthesia is needed for a non-cardiac procedure, what pregnancy looks like for you and more.
