Social workers are experts in ensuring patients and families get the help they need when it is necessary, by identifying the strengths and needs of our patients and their families. Whether you’re expecting a new baby who is known to have a heart condition, your child has been newly diagnosed with a congenital heart condition, or your child is already an established patient, the Heart Center social worker will be there to provide emotional support, to help you manage stress, fear and grief – all of which are common – and to assist with adjustment to a new diagnosis and treatment. The social worker also acts as an advocate for the patients and families of the Heart Center, and will provide connections to community and financial resources.

Heart-2-Heart

Heart-2-Heart is a hospital committee made up of adult patients, parents, family members and Congenital Heart Collaborative staff to make sure the needs of our patients and their families are being met.
