  • A message from Children's Health

    The Heart Center at Children’s Health is thrilled to be a sponsor of, and partner to, the 2023 World Congress of Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery. As a reflection of our engagement in the exciting science and innovation on full display during the course of this week, as well as our commitment to diversity in leadership, we invite you to join us at our dinner on Tuesday evening. There are a lot of new and exciting developments currently in our Heart Center which we are very proud to share. Examples include our new Biventricular Conversion program, as well as our unique Interventional and Advanced Diagnostic Lymphatic program. Furthermore, we continue to relish the opportunity to participate as a leader among the pediatric cardiology learning network community, in particular as it relates to the Pediatric Acute Care Cardiology Collaborative (PAC3). We can’t wait to see you in DC.

    Thanks,

    Dr. Nicolas Madsen, Chief of Cardiology and Co-Director of the Heart Center
