Our Program Mission:  Every 10 minutes a baby is born with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH).    Even though over a half million babies have been born with CDH since the year 2000, many obstetricians and pediatricians have only seen a few cases in their careers.  This is due to undiagnosis of CDH, elective termination, or the inability to survive transport to a larger hospital.   Because of the lack of experience, there is a huge lack of information not only for the doctors, but for patients. 

Our mission is to work with CDH families to provide timely and accurate information to all hospitals in the United States by the year 2015.   To do this, we are recruiting members to adopt hospitals in honor and in memory of their cherubs.  This is a wonderful way to help other CDH families, honor our own children and give back to the hospitals that have helped each of us.   There is no cost to the doctors or families that receive the information provided by adoptions.

This is the first and only CDH project of it's kind.  It is our mission that no CDH family ever face the devastating diagnosis of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia without information or support and that no doctor be in need of materials to pass on to patients families.
