Comprehensive Center for CDH Care

03/25/2026

Outcomes are an important factor for parents in choosing a CDH center to care for their child. It is important for centers to be transparent in center outcomes and volume for decision making. Between July 2024 and August 2025, The Comprehensive Center for CDH Care took care of 39 CDH patients with an overall survival of 97% and ECMO survival of 95%. There are other leading CDH centers with similar outcomes as well. We also know that patient volume is important aspect in survival outcomes. The more CDH patients a center sees, the better they get in the intricacies of managing the CDH patient. No matter where you are considering seeking care, close to home or away from home, we’d be happy to meet with you for a first, second, or third opinion.

A message of compassion and strength for families navigating grief from our friends over at Charlie Polizzi's Warrior of the Angels. "I remember thinking, “How is this happening?”. Why is this happening? Why was my baby given so many battles? Why couldn't I take on the battles? As I began to ask myself these questions, I built layers of scaffolds on how I would build my new life, the new me."

Learn ways to navigate grief during the "early" days.
