ACHA Commemorates CHD Awareness Week Around the Country

Posted Monday, Feb 10, 2025

During Heart Month, and especially during Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) Awareness Week from February 7-14, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our incredible volunteers and supporters. Your dedication to raising awareness about ACHA and the critical need for lifelong care for adults with CHD makes a meaningful impact.

Specifically, our Patient and Family Advisory Board (PFAB) and members of the ACHA team have joined together to write and submit proclamation requests that have resulted in CHD Awareness Week being officially recognized by legislators in U.S. cities, states and counties.

You can review some of these proclamations below. Thank you all for reaching out to your local officials to promote CHD awareness!
