The Adult Congenital Heart Program— a collaboration between Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford and Stanford Health Care—provides comprehensive care to patients with congenital heart defects. Our multi-disciplinary team, comprised of cardiologists board certified in adult congenital heart defects, focuses on adult care and support for patients with congenital heart defects in their adult stages of life.
The Adult Congenital Heart Program at Stanford treats the full spectrum of pediatric and adult congenital heart diseases. To learn more about pediatric congenital heart diseases, visit Lucile Packard Children's Hospital.
