The Congenital Heart Public Health Consortium (CHPHC) is a group of organizations that was formed in an effort to utilize public health principles to affect change for those whose lives are impacted by Congenital Heart Disease (CHD). The Children's Heart Foundation is part of the CHPHC.

The Congenital Heart Futures Reauthorization Act will authorize the CDC and NIH to build upon existing successful programs to address a leading public health issue and improve the quality of life and care for individuals with CHD. CHF advocates played an instrumental role in the passing of this bill.
