Compassionate, comprehensive and cutting-edge pediatric cardiac care — right here in the heart of the Midwest.

The Herma Heart Institute at Children’s Wisconsin is a national leader in pediatric cardiology and heart surgery.

Through our Forward Pediatric Alliance, which is a collaboration between the Herma Heart Institute at Children's Wisconsin and UW Health Kids/American Family Children's Hospital, we are known as innovators in the field as we continue to challenge the standard of care through new treatments, technologies and follow-up programs that are often adopted by other pediatric hospitals.

Exceptional team: If your child needs care, you'll have access to world-class providers, nurses and technicians. The Herma Heart Institute has some of the best results for even the most complex types of heart disease. 

Lifelong support: We provide care to our patients in all ages and stages of life — from before birth through adulthood. Your fetal heart doctor can care for your child through their childhood. As they grow up, we help with the transition into our Adult Congenital Heart Disease Program in the same location, with many of the same team members. 

Commitment to innovation: Our team is leading the way in congenital heart disease research. We are working to discover breakthrough treatments and procedures to improve outcomes. 

Support beyond the clinic: 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: 

• Neurodevelopmental Follow-up Program
• Educational Achievement Partnership Program
• Healthy Lifestyles Program for Adults with Congenital Heart Disease
• Adult Congenital Heart Disease Transition Program
