Congenital heart disease requires lifelong medical management by a team of physicians and healthcare professionals.
Primary care physicians and cardiac specialists play key roles in assuring that these patients receive appropriate, high-level care for this complex group of conditions.
ACHA is an important resource for patients, their caregivers and the medical professionals who provide that care. As the only organization dedicated to adult congenital heart disease, we are committed to:
- Connecting patients and families to qualified physicians and treatment facilities.
- Providing physicians and patients with up-to-date information on the standard of care for adult congenital heart disease and advances being made in the field.
- Helping patients bridge the gap between pediatric and adult cardiac care.
- Defining and establishing standards for delivering high-quality care to adult patients.
- Providing information and support for the emotional, social and lifestyle challenges people and families with CHD face.
For the medical community, ACHA provides a range of programs and services. Our goal is to provide timely, usable resources for professionals serving the ACHD community. These include:
- Opportunity to become an ACHA Medical Professional Member.
- The ACHA Adult Congenital Heart Disease Accreditation Program for ACHD clinics.
- Opportunity to participate in the ACHD clinic directory.
- The ACHA National Conference, which brings together the patient and clinical community and is a unique opportunity to share experiences and expertise.
- Information on CHD-related conferences.
- Information resources on key CHD issues and organizations.
