From newborns to adults with congenital heart disease, the Lurie Children’s Cardiac Catheterization Lab team performs minimally invasive procedures that often mean faster recovery and less trauma than traditional surgery. Using advanced imaging, precision tools, and collaborative care, they treat over 1,000 patients a year, helping hearts heal safely and efficiently.

Great first day at Single Ventricle Outcomes NEtwork annual Fall Learning Session! We had 3 people give talks and 9 posters on display. We had 7 clinicians, 4 parents, and 2 patients from Lurie attend in-person and a bunch more virtual attendees! Most importantly we had the opportunity to network with brilliant, collaborative, energized single ventricle teams from across the country representing nearly 60 different institutions. Can’t wait for day 2!!

"“I am honored to be a 2025 American Heart Association Leaders of Impact nominee, fundraising on behalf of the AHA this year! Leaders of Impact is an initiative that raises lifesaving funds and makes an impact on heart health in communities around the country during a short 7-week campaign ending November 5th. We have a goal to create a world of longer, healthier lives and we need your help to reach that goal.

The American Heart Association is driven by the promise of building longer, healthier lives for everyone. I personally invest in the mission of the Association to help shine a light on their work in driving equitable health for all. By standing up and joining the Leaders of Impact campaign, I am helping advance cardiovascular health for all, including identifying and removing barriers to health care access and quality. I will personally be focusing on heart education for children in underserved communities in addition to life-saving CPR training with groups throughout Chicago.

I am asking for your support in my fundraising efforts today by making a tax-deductible donation to my fundraising page: http://www2.heart.org/goto/Amanda_Hauck

Please share with anyone you know who has been affected by heart disease and may be interested in donating to the AHA's cause.”

Leaders of Impact shines a spotlight on heart health as heart disease is the No. 1 killer worldwide, and stroke ranks second globally. Participants use their collective influence to educate their communities on the symptoms and warning signs of heart disease, raise critical dollars to help fund life...
