At Seattle Children's Heart Center, our pediatric cardiac surgeons and interventional cardiologists have more advanced training and experience operating and performing procedures on babies, children and teens with a wide range of heart conditions than those at any other children's hospital in the Pacific Northwest.
You'll meet the entire team all at once, including your nurse navigator, maternal-fetal medicine specialist, surgeon, cardiologist, social worker and others, so you can get all your questions answered about every phase of the process. This team will follow you all the way through, working together to give your child and family the best outcome they can."

Our team works to support your child's overall health between the first and second surgeries, which can be a fragile time requiring close medical attention. Our weekly interstage clinic brings together experts in cardiology, nutrition, social work, feeding therapy and neurodevelopment to support your child and family."
