Prenatal Heart Program
The Prenatal Heart Program is designed to address the needs of families

congenital heart disease by fetal echocardiography. Our goal is to improve the care of infants with congenital
heart disease through perinatal diagnosis, prenatal planning, post-natal care and follow-up after birth and
throughout the child's life.

What Patients and Families Should Know
As part of this initiative, patients ages 8 and above in our Emergency Department, Urgent Care Centers
and inpatient units, are being screened for suicidal ideation. Parents and clinicians will be made aware when
children report such thought patterns. Additional follow through and recommendations will be made for as appropriate
to children's care needs.

Lifeline at 988.
