Houston, TX, Sept. 14, 2017 -- Heart patients, family members, caregivers and medical professionals from across the country are expected to participate in the Mended Little Hearts CHD Symposium September 22-23, 2017 in Houston, Texas.  The two-day event will be held at Texas Children’s Hospital and includes an ‘Out of this World’ reception, a tour of Texas Children’s Hospital Heart Center and entrance to the Houston Astros game Saturday evening. 

The conference is open to anyone affected by congenital heart disease and will feature multiple speakers, including panels on supporting teens and families during their transition to adult CHD care, innovations in CHD treatment, collaborative innovations that improve lives, caring for the needs of the child and family, and more.

"I am truly excited that we are bringing our CHD Symposium to Houston,” said Donnette Smith, President of Mended Hearts and Mended Little Hearts. “Not only will participants hear about the latest innovations in CHD research and treatment, but they’ll learn how collaboration between medical staff, patients and caregivers can help improve the lives of those affected by CHD.  They’ll also have the unique opportunity to network with other patients and families who have gone through what they’ve experienced.”
