Dr. James Moller Presenting on:
“50 Years of Progress-Congenital Heart Disease”
Dr. James Moller from the University of Minnesota Children’s Hospital presented on 50 years of Congenital Heart Defects for our November meeting. Attendance was great and we were able to offer for the first time a call-in option where members were able to listen via telephone and watch as the conference was taking place. In attendance was Marilyn Gordon, one of the original founders of Parents for Heart and her son, Kevin. Dr. Moller’s presentation included promising news of what accomplishments have been made in the past 50 years and brings hopefulness to our families with children with Congenital Heart Defects. Some highlights were that the mortality rate has significantly declined and there are now currently more adults living with a Congenital Heart Defects than there are children with a CHD. Thank you to U of MN for hosting the meeting and to Dr. Moller for a presentation filled with hope for our families.
