Navigating heart surgery—whether for a child or a loved one—can feel overwhelming, and having the right tools at the right moment makes an enormous difference. That’s why we’ve created a set of simple, print-friendly resources designed to bring clarity, comfort, and confidence to your journey. Here you’ll find our Surgery Tool Guide, which explains the equipment your child may see before and after surgery; our Specialist Guide, which introduces the care team members you’ll meet in the hospital; and our Hospital Packing Checklist, a practical list to help you prepare for your stay.

 

Each guide was thoughtfully crafted to make the hospital experience easier to understand and a little less intimidating—so your family can focus on healing and hope.
