Innovation for Kids Health Foundation – Funding research and discovery to help patients with heart disease.

Achieving the
unthinkable.

OUR MISSION

We aim to drive change and transform the lives of patients with heart disease by supporting groundbreaking research through innovation, collaboration, and funding.

WHO WE ARE

We are a group of clinical care providers, patients and their families, and industry representatives working together to improve outcomes for all patients with heart disease.

The Innovation for Kids Health Foundation was started by a group of pediatric clinicians who saw the opportunity and need for innovative solutions to support cardiac research.

WHY WE EXIST

We make the health of kids our priority. They're the heart behind our purpose.

Research in pediatric cardiac healthcare faces a significant challenge due to being both under-supported and underfunded compared to adults. The lack of support hinders potential breakthroughs that could significantly enhance the well-being of children, which underscores the urgent need to prioritize and amplify support for research, ensuring that every child receives the care and resources necessary for optimal health outcomes.

Together, through determination and groundbreaking innovations, we will forge a path to not just treat but to end heart disease, ensuring a healthier and brighter future for all children.
