Family Education Guide

As a parent raising a child with a congenital heart defect you face many challenges. Your child may have to undergo tests, which can be a scary experience for you and your child. You may worry whether your child is eating right or if he should participate in school gym class.

One of our cardiologists, Nancy McDaniel M.D., has written a comprehensive Patient Education Guide just for you. It includes a list of cardiology terms written in plain English, answers to many common questions and even a guide on how to make sure your infant with a congenital heart defect gets the most nutritious start in life.

Our William Hammill, M.D., has also compiled a list of Frequently Asked Questions by families who are about to go to a cardiology clinic.
