NCHC Will Lobby Congress to Sponsor the Congenital Heart Futures Act - Legislation that will Fund a National Congenital Heart Disease Registry, Congenital Heart Defect Research and Education

CHICAGO, Feb. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- The Children's Heart Foundation (CHF) - the country's leading organization solely dedicated to funding CHD research - is one of six organizations participating in National Congenital Heart Lobby Day on February 10. The day unites organizations that support the National Congenital Heart Coalition (NCHC) in an effort to persuade senators and congress representatives to fund important efforts surrounding congenital heart defects (CHDs).

The day is meant to build on the Coalition's successful lobby work and grow the collective voice and face of CHDs. Members of the Coalition focus on addressing the needs of CHD infants, children, teens and adults alike.
