Introduced by Lion Ann Ward
Mended Little Hearts’ mission is to inspire hope and improve the quality of life of heart patients and their families through ongoing peer-to-peer support, education and advocacy. Members are parents, patients and family members who are impacted by congenital heart disease (CHD) and want to use their experiences to improve the lives of others.
The Patient Faculty Advisory Council, or PFAC, is a partnership of patients, over the age of 18, family members, physicians, clinicians and hospital leadership collaborating to shape and inform the ideal family-centered experience at Dell Children's Medical Center.
