The group is facilitated by Dr. Jonas Bromberg.

Transition Resources Seminar
Beginning in January of 2006, we will be running a monthly seminar for those young adults who are transitioning (or thinking of transitioning) to the BACH group. This is an educational series focusing on a number of topics including:
  • Nutrition
  • Pregnancy and congenital heart disease
  • New technologies/interventions
  • New medications
  • Insurance
  • Educational/vocational opportunities
The group will meet from 7:00 to 8:00pm on the 4th Thursday of each month in the Cardiology (Nadas) Conference Room, across from the main administrative offices, on the second floor of the Farley Building at the Children's Hospital. Free parking in the Children's Hospital garage is provided. Please RSVP at the BACH main number: 617-355-6508. All young adults are welcome!
ACHA
The Adult Congenital Heart Association (ACHA) is a nonprofit organization which seeks to improve the quality of life and extend the lives of adults with congenital heart defects. Through education, outreach, advocacy and promotion of research, ACHA serves and supports the more than one million adults with congenital heart defects, their families, and the medical community.

The ACHA is the national patient association providing support, information, and a format for education for all interested in the adult with congenital heart disease. They network with patients, the American Heart Association, and the American College of Cardiology on challenges faced by adults with congenital heart disease.

We, as BACH providers, are honored to have worked with the ACHA since its inception. We are pleased to have supported the first international conference of the ACHA. We continue to serve as members on the medical advisory board.
