Welcome!

The mission of Children's Heart Foundation is to improve the care and quality of life for children in Nevada who are born with or develop heart problems.

The Foundation has four main goals: to provide a carefree camp experience for children with heart conditions; to educate healthcare professionals and the general public on pediatric cardiology issues; to lend support to families as they deal with the emotional and financial toll exacted by a child's heart problems; and to support research efforts in the field of pediatric cardiology.

Children's Heart Foundation was founded in 2001 through the compassionate efforts of local pediatric cardiologists and concerned families of children with heart problems.

Children's Heart Foundation hosts a Heart and Soul Discussion group which is a free support discussion group for families who have children with congenital heart issues. Diagnosis of a heart condition can be shocking and it is important for families to gather together to share their experiences and talk. The discussion group will meet the second Friday of each month from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on the 4th floor at Children's Heart Center. Space is limited to the first 15 registrants so RSVP early to renee@childrensheartcenter.com or by calling (702) 732-1290. Food and drinks will be provided. Please note child care is not available on site. The next few sessions are May 16 and June 13.
