Individualized cardiac care
No two people are exactly alike — so why would their medical treatment be the same? Take Caleb and his little sister, Emma. Both were born with congenital heart defects. But their respective diseases were unique in how they presented, how they affected them and how they needed to be treated.
That’s the idea behind our work in cardiac precision medicine. Precision medicine looks at genetics, environment and lifestyle to determine the most appropriate treatment option for each individual patient.
A commitment that goes beyond the clinic
With decades of clinical expertise and research, we know that our heart families need support that extends beyond the clinic. That’s why we invest in programs that help children thrive and get them back to being kids sooner:
