Durbin, Young's Congenital Heart Futures Reauthorization Act Signed Into Law

Press Release

“Heart defects are the most common birth defect, and if you ever get the devastating news that your precious little one has a serious medical condition, you hope there’s a treatment or care option for them. Thankfully, we have seen an incredible improvement in screening and surgeries for children born with heart defects—saving thousands of lives and increasing survival into adulthood. Thanks to President Biden, Senator Young, and colleagues in the House, we worked in a bipartisan way to get this done. Now that it is signed into law, we can improve research, data collection, awareness, and workforce training so we can establish a standard of care and bring hope for the millions of Americans born with CHD.”
