Declaration of Rights of Individuals with Childhood-Onset Heart Disease

We are working hard at representing our member organizations and individuals through advocacy efforts. Our Declaration of Rights of Individuals with Childhood-Onset Heart Disease was launched in 2020. We believe that every person affected by childhood-onset heart disease has the right to receive all needed services to reach their full potential. We are asking our members and the congenital heart disease/rheumatic heart disease community to please sign our Declaration.
