Director's Description

A collaborative partnership between Children's Hospital and Nebraska Medicine, the Midwest & Omaha Congenital Heart and Aortopathy (MOCHA) program for adolescents and adults offers a multi- disciplinary approach to comprehensive ACHD management and care. Our program features a team of board certified ACHD experts dedicated to the care of ACHD patients.

We additionally have specialized programs for adolescent transition, pulmonary hypertension, and high risk pregnancy care. MOCHA is committed to excellence in the care of patients throughout the region including national and international research and education. We offer outreach clinics in Lincoln, Kearney, and North Platte, NE as well as Rapid City, SD.
