| Director's Description | Many patients with congenital heart problems that become at adult ag in our community are faced with so many challenges. They are referred to see adult cardiologist and many fall through the cracks, no in depth understanding of their pathologies and issues, loss of insurance issues, referral out of town to Kansas City or other centers for follow-up and surgeries have made it great challenge for these patients. A local clinic in Wichitaw hopefully will serve them better | ||
