I have CHD and love someone with CHD

Kelly has been living with CHD her entire life. As a dedicated patient advocate, she serves on various patient advisory boards and firmly believes the patient voice needs to be prioritized, particularly when it comes to research and clinical trials. In 2017, Kelly’s husband discovered that also has CHD, which had gone undiagnosed since birth. As a result, she knows what it is like to be a patient, and a loved one of a CHD patient.  She aims to be a strong voice in the adult CHD community, representing the first generation of complex CHD patients surviving (and thriving!) into adulthood. This community fills her with hope, and she is excited to see what can be accomplished through the unifying force of Project 1 in 100.
