Adult congenital heart disease webinar series

We’re proud to offer a free educational webinars for all adults living with a congenital heart defect and their loved ones. This webinar series is brought to you by the Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) Program within the Herma Heart Institute. Our ACHD program is one of only a few programs of its kind in the nation, and the largest program in the state of Wisconsin. 

Next webinar: How to build and maintain healthy habits as an adult with CHD

Building healthy habits is important for everyone but it is even more important for adults living with congenital heart disease.

Over the course of a half hour, you will hear from Joel and Tara as they cover:

• Why healthy habits are important for adults living with CHD
• How to build healthy habits
• The most important habits for ACHD patients
• Live questions from the audience

Registration is free but required. Can't attend live? Make sure to still register - all registrants will receive a recording of the presentation.
