Director's Description

The Adult Congenital Heart Program at TCH is the largest ACHD program in Texas and the most comprehensive ACHD program in region. Patients are able to be seen at sites across the greater Houston area (including The Woodlands, Sugarland, Kingwood, Cy Fair, Clear Lake and Katy) by providers specifically trained in ACHD care. Our ACH program cardiologists have combined training in adult cardiology, pediatric cardiology, and adult congenital cardiology giving the program a depth of knowledge unique to our center. We also specialize in the care of cardiac issues that arise during pregnancy. We have a large program of cardiac, OB, and Maternal-Fetal-Medicine providers at Texas Children's Hospital- Pavilion for Women to care for cardiac issues during pregnancy.

At our medical center campus, we have an entire floor in the TCH Heart Center dedicated to the ACH Program. The Legacy Tower 24th floor contains the ACH outpatient clinic as well as the dedicated ACH inpatient unit.
