"My child was just diagnosed with a heart condition and I have no idea where to begin."

At Children's Hospital Boston, we're here to answer your questions and help make this experience as easy as possible for you and your family. We'll guide you through, step by step.
Make an appointment
If your child has been diagnosed with a heart condition, the first step is to schedule an appointment with us by calling 617-355-2079, if you don't already have one.
