About the Congenital Heart Alliance of Cincinnati:

Locally established in 1940, the Congenital Heart Alliance of Cincinnati (formerly known as the Children’s Heart Association of Cincinnati) is one of the oldest and one of the most impactful foundations dedicated to overcoming congenital heart defects. Membership consists of all-volunteers. Most members have been affected personally by a child or grandchild born with a congenital heart defect. Their mission is "to inspire heartfelt hope in patients and families impacted by congenital heart defects, as well as the medical practitioners that care for them, through the funding of groundbreaking research, global collaboration, and holistic well-being initiatives." Because of establishing global alliances, funding is provided to affiliate organizations in other parts of the United States and abroad, all closely vetted and aligned with the objective to overcome congenital heart defects. Over the years, The Heart Institute at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center has received significant support.
