The Canadian Congenital Heart Alliance (CCHA) works closely with both adult and pediatric medical professionals and patients across Canada to raise awareness of congenital heart disease and the need for lifelong expert care.
The fact is that now 90-95% of children with heart defects will live to adulthood and well beyond, and we must ensure that the care and support is there for them every step of the way.
We recognize that the effects of congenital heart disease extend beyond the patient, and so we will strive to be an advocate for patients, their families, friends and loved-ones.
We need to work hard to ensure that we continue to get the best care possible, not only for ourselves, but also for future generations of patients and their families.
CCHA is the only non-profit organization in Canada that supports all Canadians with congenital heart defects.
Our work involves:

Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
