On behalf of the Adult Congenital Heart Association (ACHA), welcome to our community. We are so glad you are here.
Our vision at ACHA is a future where every adult with congenital heart disease (CHD) lives their fullest life by receiving quality health care and community support. Part of realizing that vision is ensuring every person coping with CHD feels connected – to other adults, to families, and to our inspiring community of ACHD providers. Here, in one place, you’ll find everything you need to start or continue on a path to living your best life with CHD.
To get you started, here are a few places we recommend visiting on our website—and the “heart” of all we do:
- With just a few clicks, connect with someone who understands your experience with CHD through our Heart to Heart Peer Support Program.
- If you need CHD care and don’t know where to turn, go directly to ACHA’s Clinic Directory to find accredited centers and board certified doctors. (And to learn how ACHA is ensuring adults with CHD get high quality care, visit our ACHA ACHD Accreditation program.)
- Medical research fuels progress, and ACHA is moving the needle by funding cutting-edge ACHD research, $700,000 so far.
- Join us in calling for greater awareness and better support. Sign up to advocate and make sure the voices of those affected by CHD are heard everywhere decisions are made.
Thank you again for being with us!
