The news that your
child has been diagnosed with a heart problem may be very frightening and
cause feelings of confusion and disbelief for both you and your child.
The staff in Pediatric
Cardiology at the Variety Children's Heart Centre are here to help you
get through this difficult time. We feel it is important for you
to have access to accurate information in order to avoid unnecessary
fears and misconceptions which sometimes arise.
We are a family-centered
clinical service and recognize that you are your child's most precious
resource. He or she needs you most - your love, care and encouragement.
With time, you will get to know your child's care better than anyone else.
