The City of Gastonia proudly recognizes February 7–14, 2026, as Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) Awareness Week.

During this week, we raise awareness about CHDs, the most common birth defect in the United States, affecting nearly 1 in 100 newborns each year. Many individuals living with CHDs require lifelong care, and their journeys reflect incredible strength, resilience, and hope.

We extend our appreciation to Ms. Amanda Shipman, recipient of this proclamation, and thank Councilwoman Jennifer M. Stepp for presenting it on behalf of the Mayor and City Council.

This week, we honor the families impacted, remember those we have lost, and recognize the healthcare professionals, researchers, and advocates working tirelessly to improve outcomes and advance care.

Together, we can continue promoting awareness, supporting research, and strengthening our community for all those affected. 💙
