It was a pleasure to meet with my old boss yesterday about th importance of continued #CHD research & education funding at CDC.
If you receive devastating news that your child has a serious medical condition, you hope there’s treatment options for them. That's why I met with @ACHA_Heart to discuss legislative efforts to increase funding for research & education about congenital heart disease.

This week I spent a night in-patient for a pacemaker replacement and had someone give me a Uber Eats gift card. I can’t tell you how appreciated that simple kindness was and how much it went towards at improving my stay.

People have asked me, “What’s the purpose of an ACHD registry?”. 👇👇 @Leigh_KC does a great job explaining the vision and purpose of the @ACHD_CHI in her most recent HeartDialouges newsletter.
As a person born with a rare heart defect, I know the value of good and plentiful data—or, at least, the consequences of not having it. Read my piece on the @ACHD_CHI, a group collecting patient data to help improve care. #CHD #CHDAwareness.

It was an incredible experience participating in an all-day workshop working towards building a roadmap to provide better maternal care research, care, and outcomes for women with ACHD. More to come!.
Good morning! We’re here live at @JLABS at Washington, D.C. for the @PCORI CHD Maternal Outcomes Consortium Meeting. We’re going to live-tweeting throughout the day. I hope you’ll follow along!

Today’s Hill advocacy was personal. We had great conversations with 8 House and Senate offices advocating for ACHD/CHD research and care. Thank you @ACHA_Heart for entrusting CURA as your advocate!.
CURA is proud to partner with the Adult Congenital Heart Association to raise awareness about the critical workforce shortages affecting the ACHD-certified provider community. Today, we were on Capitol Hill working to educate congressional staff on this important issue.
