Established 1940
Mission The mission of the Children’s Heart Association of Cincinnati is to support the scholarly activities of the Heart Institute at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. The efforts of the Children’s Heart Association of Cincinnati are aimed primarily at supporting clinical, translational, and basic investigations intended to advance pediatric cardiovascular medicine and to train future leaders in the field of pediatric cardiology.
Serving Our Community There are 1.2 million babies born with congenital heart defects (CHD) every year. The 76-year legacy of CHAoC is found right in the heart of the Queen City: its children.
Our support of the Heart Institute at Cincinnati Children’s has been instrumental in studies that are evaluating cutting-edge drug therapies, improving patient care, understanding and lessening the psychosocial burdens of growing up with CHD, and the nuances of managing CHD as an adult. And our support now reaches 60 Children’s Hospitals within the U.S. through our lead support of the National Pediatric Cardiology Quality Improvement Collaborative.
Your heart will beat roughly 100,000 times today, and the passion and dedication of CHAoC is unlimited with the support of the people of Cincinnati—we’re already proving it.
