ACHD Patient and Family Connections Meetings unite patients and their loved ones with others affected by heart conditions. The ACHD Center social worker David Highfill — a CHD patient who underwent a Fontan procedure as a young adult and received a heart transplant in his 40s — leads the support group. Connections meetings are held on the last Thursday of every month on Zoom and are open to all ACHD patients and their family members. 

ACHD patients who are under evaluation for, are waitlisted for, have undergone or may be considering an organ transplant are also invited to attend our monthly ACHD Transplant-Focused Connections Meeting. The Transplant Focused Connections meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month on Zoom from 6 pm to 7:30 pm. I
