Support Programs

The Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh’s Heart Center offers support programs for children and parents:

Heart Camp is for children ages 8 through 16 who have heart conditions, including heart transplant patients. Campers can enjoy typical camp activities, while interacting with their doctors and nurses in a non-medical setting.
Heart-to-Heart is a parent support group designed to extend the arm of care beyond the hospital. Monthly support group meetings, in-house visiting, telephone support and an annual family picnic give parents the opportunity to talk to, interact with and support each other. Parents of children with cardiac problems can become members of this free, voluntary network.
