Excited to announce that we were recently named the #1 Pediatric Heart Center in the US by @usnews for the 8th year in a row! Congratulations to our team members who work tirelessly providing exemplary care, and thanks to all of the families who entrust their care to us daily!



#TipsForNewAttendings The importance of knowing all the details of your patient's care doesn't end when you're no longer a trainee. Trust, but verify, the details presented to you- then, you can be certain patients are receiving the best care. #kittlesonrules
