When a cardiac emergency happens, every second matters. ❤️

Whether you're a parent, teacher, coach or bystander, knowing where an automated external defibrillator (AED) is and having the confidence to use it could make all the difference.

Watch Dr. Jeff Zampi, pediatric cardiologist at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, demonstrate how anyone can use this simple device: michmed.org/KDVwN

As he says, “You don’t have to be a doctor to save a life."

💛💙Meet Callum one of our Little Victors from our 2026 calendar. “Callum very unexpectedly became a Little Victor when we found out he needed an emergency open-heart surgery due to total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) at just five days old. Being from the upper peninsula of Michigan, this quick access to life sustaining care was all possible because of U-M Survival Flight and the coordination among teams between our local health system and Mott. Following his repair by the amazing Dr. Romano, we spent the next two months under the devoted care of the doctors, nurses, therapists and so many more in the PCTU and 11 West. Despite being on ECMO, a trip to the cath lab, failed swallow studies, and several rounds of intubation, Callum was and still is always smiling. If it weren’t for the beautiful warrior scar on his chest, you would not know all that he survived. We are grateful every day to watch him grow, learn and thrive.” This Heart Month you can support Little Victors like Callum through Save A Heart, https://victors.us/umsaveaheart.

For many young people born with complex congenital heart disease, the journey is both physically and emotionally challenging.

Research led by the Congenital Heart Center at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital shows that helping children, teens and young adults build resilience may strengthen both mental and physical health and even improve heart outcomes.

That’s why Mott teams created a unique program that addresses care needs beyond the physical for young heart patients.

"Children and young adults living with complex heart conditions experience a number of stressors while also demonstrating tremendous resilience amidst these stressors,” said Melissa Cousino, Ph.D., a pediatric psychologist at Mott.

“We have growing evidence that resilience matters for both physical and mental health. It’s a measurable and modifiable factor that can influence cardiac health, recovery, wellbeing and long term outcomes.”

💛💙Meet Archie one of our Little Victors from our 2026 calendar. “At just 20 weeks gestational, Archie was diagnosed with levo-transposition of the Great Arteries (l-TGA). Upon full term delivery, Archie had his first pulmonary artery banding surgery at 6 days old. At 6 months old, Archie has his second PA band surgery. Archie recovered well and had his double- switch procedure in May 2025. We are so thankful for the amazing Mott team. We couldn’t ask for a better support system, as well. Hail, Archie boy!” This Heart Month you can support Little Victors like Archie through Save A Heart, https://victors.us/umsaveaheart.

Sudden cardiac arrest in teens is rare but when it happens, every second counts.

And a national poll from C.S. Mott Children's Hospital suggests many schools and families may not be fully prepared to respond:

👉 Only half of parents know if their teen’s school has an automated external defibrillator, or AED
👉Even fewer know where it is
👉Just 1 in 5 teens is CPR trained
👉Only 1 in 15 teens knows how to use an AED

For children with severe hearing loss, cochlear implants can help them receive and process sounds. A cochlear implant is a surgically implanted device that generates electric stimulation in the inner ear to restore audibility.

After surgery, patients of Michigan Medicine's Cochlear Implant Program have their devices activated by audiologists. While a variety of responses are expected at activation, many patients are joyful, such as Zhuri, age 4.

❤️10-year-old William Goff has a hard time sitting still, but almost three years ago he was struggling to breathe properly.

After going through chemotherapy as an infant to treat acute myeloid leukemia, William experienced cardiotoxicity from his treatment. He was referred to the cardio-oncology clinic at U-M Health's C.S. Mott Children's Hospital where his heart function was monitored as he aged.

By the age of seven, he was experiencing restrictive cardio myopathy meaning that his heart was having trouble relaxing placing a strain on his lungs. His best option for treatment became a heart transplant.

On July 4, 2023, William received his heart transplant and began his journey to being the active kid he is today.

Now, the Goff family is sharing their story of William's heart transplant and the reality of life post-transplant this .

Read more about William's story in his own words using the link from the Health Lab Blog. https://michmed.org/9294R
