This week we focus on Congenital Heart Defect Awareness! CHD is the most common birth defect, and while 85% of babies with CHDs now live to age 18, many require lifelong care and multiple surgeries. This week we recognize the journey that many of these families face when diagnosed with a CHD. For a list of CHD resources, visit https://www.cdc.gov/heart-defects/communication-resources/index.html
