Thank you to everyone at ACHA, the 90+ speakers, and nearly 500 participants for the #ACHAConf2022. I feel so energized and excited. ACHA conferences always help reignite my drive to advocate and care for the ACHA community! #CHDcare4life #CHDaware

When a sweet patient who’s moving comes in for their last visit and they cry and hug you tight with gratitude - that’s why I do what I do! These connections are so very special. #ACHD

Happy birthday to a true #CHD pioneer, the late Vivien Thomas. Here is a HeartTalk Blog by #ACHA Board Member William F. Causey, which expresses gratitude for Thomas's role in his 1952 open heart surgery with Drs. Alfred Blalock & Helen Taussig. ow.ly/H6Ct50KtqR7 #ACHACares

I hope my work and personal openness helps normalize the emotional needs of CHD’ers.
