WELCOME TO INTERMOUNTAIN HEALING HEARTS

According to the American Heart Association, at least eight out of every 1,000
infants born each year have a heart defect. There are about 1 million Americans
with cardiovascular defects that are alive today.  Though research is ongoing, at
least 35 defects have now been identified.

For many parents, the excitement of getting to see their unborn child for the first
time through ultrasound and hearing the heartbeat becomes their first, loving
connection to that child. However, when discovering that their child has a heart
defect, whether diagnosed in-utero, shorty after birth, during childhood, or even
into adulthood, the diagnosis can be devastating and many questions arise in
what the future might hold.

Intermountain Healing Hearts is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit organization that was
formed in September 2007 to support  families of children or adults with
congenital heart defects (CHD's) and heart disease.  Most of our members live in
the Intermountain West (Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, Montana, and Utah) and are
seen through the cardiology clinic at either Primary Children's Medical Center
(PCMC) or adult CHD survivors at the clinic at the Heart Center at the Univeristy
of Utah Medical Clinic, both located in Salt Lake City, Utah.   However, support is
extended to any needing it.  Intermountain Healing Hearts offers resources and a
caring support network as families find answers and move forward to find
healing, hope, and peace.
We offer an on-line support  exchange email and to gain
support with those affected by CHD's both living and those
that have lost their battle.  Click here to join!
