Our goal for Congenital Heart Lobby Day 2012 on March 1, 2012, is to meet with our legislators and celebrate our successes. However, we realize this is only the beginning. We need to motivate our members of Congress to learn more and do more. We will be asking them to continue funding the CDC so we can learn more about prevalence, barriers to effective care, survival outcomes and neurocognitive outcomes, and to increase funding to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for CHD research. New this year, we will be asking our members of the House to join the Congenital Heart Caucus. Representatives can join this group, chaired by Congressman Gus Bilirakis, to show their support and receive continued information about issues related to CHD, including what the federal government can do to save money and save lives.
