Director's Description
As one of the first, adult congenital cardiac programs in the country and the largest in the state of Illinois, we have had the privilege of serving adults with congenital heart disease since 1990. This started as a joint venture with Children's Memorial Hospital to provide care for the growing population of adult survivors. It began after it was recognized that the most complicated patient in the already established Heart Disease and Pregnancy program had congenital heart disease. and there were no studies or guidelines to help in their care. We serve adult patients of all ages and genders but the special expertise is in managing high risk pregnancies and imaging patients with complex disease. At Northwestern, we have access to specialized care in obstetrics and gynecology; hematology; hepatology, heart failure and transplantation. It has been challenging and rewarding to care for patients over the last 30 years and to care for their offspring as adults with the same personalized care.
