ACHD webinars

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. 

Our next ACHD webinar: Transitioning to adult congenital heart care

Join us on Thursday, April 22 at 6:30 p.m. CT for a live presentation and Q&A with Herma Heart Institute nurse, Emily Reinhardt, RN, on the transition to adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) care. Over the course of a half-hour, you will hear Emily cover:

• The challenges and considerations that children with congenital heart disease face as they age into adulthood
• The difference between "transferring care" and "transitioning care"
• The guidelines and recommendations on when patients should start the transition process
• What makes a successful transition and ACHD program
• Live questions from webinar attendees
