Kids With Heart ~ National Association for Children’s Heart Disorders, Inc.

The Kids With Heart National Association for Children’s Heart Disorders, Inc., is a non-profit corporation organized to provide support, education, and informational materials to families of children who have heart disorders, both congenital and acquired, to assist them in making decisions regarding their child’s care. More than 25,000 infants are born with heart defects each year in the United States. Heart defects are among the most common birth defects, and are the leading cause of birth defect-related deaths. The association maintains a national database of families affected by congenital heart defects, and families who have lost a child to congenital heart defects, as well as a national database of local support groups who have registered with Kids with Heart NACHD. NACHD also carries a line of books on congenital heart defects and related issues.
