We want to make CCHA as accessible as possible to all of the congenital heart defect (CHD) community. We're aiming for numbers - so that our voices are heard when lobbying for more funding for our CHD clinics, more research, and greater awareness of CHD in general.

If you haven't already joined the CCHA community, I urge you to do so now. You will have access to guaranteed life insurance for patients 40 years and over (no medical evaluation), as well as a comprehensive health and dental plan and low-cost travel insurance for patients of all ages.

By providing your contact infortmation, we will keep you updated (but won't pester you!) on what we're doing and what we're accomplishing. But most of all, you will part of a growing community of patients with CHD, and their friends and family. We need your help if we're to live long and healthy lives.

For those of you who paid $25 we want to thank you very much for helping us to get up and running. Your contribution has not beeen in vain. With the $25 membership fees we've been able to cover the costs of designing and printing educational material and other important resources to help spread CHD awareness.

If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to contact communications@cchaonline.ca. Again, thank you!
