ACHD On-Demand

Adult Congenital Heart Disease On-Demand Videos

We’re proud to offer free educational on-demand videos for all adults living with a congenital heart defect and their loved ones. These videos are brought to you by the Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) Program within the Herma Heart Institute (HHI). Our ACHD Program is one of only a few programs of its kind in the nation.

Our most recent video was focused on physical activity with ACHD. Kristen Andersen and Joel Robers, RN discussed ways to stay active with ACHD and led an interactive exercise demonstration. It also included a testimonial from an ACHD patient who talked about his experience, participating in our Healthy Lifestyles Program.
