The Heart Center at Nationwide Children's has developed a patient education program aimed to successfully transition adolescents with congenital heart disease to continue specialized cardiac care as adults. This is Caitlyn's Story.
Adolescents and adults with congenital heart disease have different considerations than children. Because of these factors, specialized centers have been developed across the country to care for these patients. Nationwide Children’s Hospital is fortunate to have one such specialized program. The Adolescent and Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) Program at Nationwide Children's Hospital was created to meet the medical and surgical needs of this unique and complex population and is comprised of a dedicated team of medical experts who have devoted their careers to the care of these patients.
