Patient Stories

Heart Institute Patients and Families Share Experiences

The Heart Institute at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center is changing the outcomes for our heart patients and their families. As part of our belief in the compassionate, respectful family-centered care of every patient and family, we understand that the best reassurance and support for our families comes from stories shared by other families in similar situations.

Here are some stories of Cincinnati Children's Heart Institute patients and their families.
