ADULT CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE (ACHD) www.ChildrensOmaha.org
Adolescents and adults with congenital heart disease have different considerations than children. Because
of these factors, we have developed the region’s only specialized team to care for these patients. The
Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) Program at Children’s was created to meet the medical and
surgical needs of this unique and complex population and is comprised of a dedicated team of medical
experts who have devoted their careers to the care of these patients.
Approximately 20% of our visits are comprised of ACHD patients – more than 1,000 visits annually.
Patients with all forms of congenital heart disease, from simple to complex, receive treatment from our
specialized team. Patients are seen primarily at Children’s Hospital & Medical Center for their outpatient
care and at The Nebraska Medical Center for inpatient care. This allows patient care to be individualized
utilizing the most appropriate resources from each institution.
