About this Event
The 2026 Heart to Heart Regional Conference brings together adults with congenital heart disease (CHD), caregivers, and healthcare professionals to hear the latest information about CHD and to build lifelong connections with one another and with the community. This free event will offer practical talks on issues important to daily life, including exercise, reproductive health, and emotional health. Hear from clinicians, fellow adults with CHD, and family members, and gain practical resources to improve your day-to-day life.
