“Day after day thousands of heart failure nurses attend to the needs of the millions of Americans with heart failure largely without recognition,” said Dr. Tony Joseph, President of the Colloquium. “This award recognizes the competency and skills of heart failure nurses by affirming their important role on the lives of those with heart failure.”

Do you know a nurse that has made a significant impact on your life? Nominate them for the Heart Failure Nurse Recognition Award and honor their commitment to providing excellent heart care.

Nearly twice as many children die from Congenital Heart Defects in the United States each year as from all forms of childhood cancers combined.

Yet funding for pediatric cancer research is 5 times higher than funding for Congenital Heart Defects.

Sharing our experiences with each other is an important way to connect and learn from other's experiences.
