Thanks to advancements in heart care, children with congenital heart disease are growing up, reaching adulthood, and leading fulfilling lives. This exciting news has been true for only the last 20 years, and it has created a need for a new medical specialty—adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) care. We are proud to be one of the first programs nationwide to become accredited, and one of just four accredited Adult Congenital Heart Association (ACHA) ACHD Comprehensive Care Centers on the West Coast. This distinguished accreditation means exceptional, advanced care for children and adults with congenital heart disease, care that empowers individuals to live their best lives. Our care at Stanford Children’s Health and Stanford Health Care (our adult hospital) extends to children of all ages (in the womb, newborns, children, teenagers), as well as adults with congenital heart disease, and we treat all types of congenital heart disease, from simple to highly complex.
Our Adult Congenital Heart Program is therefore a joint program between Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford and Stanford Health Care. Having experts in congenital heart disease at both locations empowers us to provide the right care at the right time and in the right place for people of all ages.
The results of our collaboration—ACHD outstanding outcomes—are due to our seamless sharing of research and expertise between both of our institutions. It’s unusual to have a children’s hospital connected to an adult hospital, especially two that are highly ranked nationally. This advantage empowers us to provide the highest quality of care available, enhancing lives and helping individuals thrive.
