If you're looking for current HLHS
statistics, contact a children's hospital that does a large volume
of Norwoods. (Boston, CHOP and U of M)
Current hospital stats can not be found online. Feel free to contact us for additional information.

Why do we take a separate
photo of kids with HLHS?


A local newspaper did a very good article on the subject. You can read it online here.

HOPE available online

 
Be sure to visit our Photo Gallery to view a wide variety of pictures taken of those members who attended our Little Hearts annual picnic. Underneath each photo is their first name, their diagnosis, and the year they were born. The Gallery includes a musical slide show that allows you to cherish each image of hope. 

New to this year's picnic is our "Heart Kid Video" which was videotaped by two of our heart "kids" - Alex (17) and Taryn (22).

To see the photo of kids with HLHS who attended the picnic - also referred to as Little Hearts Picture of HOPE/HLHS 2007 - scroll down to the bottom of the page. You'll see a photo of 54 kids ranging in age from a few months old to 22 years of age.

Here are just a few that could be in Little Hearts Picture of HOPE/HLHS 2007. Just in our organization alone, we have 370 HLHS survivors as of June 3rd.

If you're looking for current HLHS statistics, please contact a children's hospital that performs the Norwood (stage 1) and ask how many they do in a calendar year. (For example, CHOP, Boston, MCHC do about 60 Norwoods a year). Hospitals don't put their stats on their site because they are misleading as they need to be "risk adjusted". Results for an 8 pound baby will be different than in a 4 1/2 pound baby. So, be careful of the information you find online. We don't recommend you search the internet for this information.

These photos are dedicated to the brilliant cardiothoracic surgeons and supportive pediatric cardiologists who've made it possible for our children to have a second chance at life. Some have had a rougher road than others but it has all been worth it. Many thanks to you all.
