The growing heart, from birth to adulthood 

The advanced skill and equipment needed to diagnose and repair the tiny heart of a child is awe-inspiring. The delicate balance between medications and the growing child is critical. And caring for the heart of an adult with birth defects is a specialty as well. These areas are where we concentrate our efforts.

Our physicians and staff are part of a team of specialists and sub-specialists devoted to making sure your child has the best chance at life, and at health. This team includes:

• Cardiac surgeons, who specialize in heart surgery for children
• Intensivists, physicians who care for children who are seriously ill
• Neonatologists, physicians who care for infants who are premature
• Other specialists who care for children who have heart conditions plus other complex medical conditions.

Our Cardiovascular Thoracic experts also offer care for children with conditions of the chest, esophagus, and other problems involving the chest.
