The St. Louis Heart-to-Heart Program
meets the first Wednesday of every month, from 7:00 pm - 9:00
pm. All families are welcome! If you would like to receive
monthly mailings and newsletters, please register

The meeting is divided into two sections:
- Kids group.
Children with heart defects, their siblings and friends
join in fun activities and companionship.
- Adult group.
Parents join together to share information, offer support
and learn from each other. During nine months of the year,
there is a scheduled presentation. The invited speaker
presents information and answers questions. After each
presentation, families have an opportunity to meet one
another.
The meeting is held in the Edison Café, located on the
lower level of the St. Louis Children's Hospital. (directions
