Urgent Care for Children’s Post

Congenital Heart Defects (CHD) are a life-threatening condition affecting one out of every 100 babies born each year. While awareness of the condition is on the rise, there is still a lot of work to be done in educating the public. Educating others about CHD is necessary to ensure that they understand the implications of the condition, the critical need for early detection and interventions, and the challenges faced by families. Advocacy for educational support is critical to ensuring that children with CHD can achieve academic success despite their medical challenges. Raising awareness about CHD promotes understanding, compassion, and inclusion for those affected by this complex and often misunderstood condition. #CHDEducation #chd #chdawareness #heartkids #health #wellness #healthcare #healthawareness #congenital #heartdefect #npo #share #repost #support #care #children

**Random Sunday Musings🤔💭** Sometimes as a Physiotherapist , try doing the activities you always so easily prescribe for your patients, maybe….. just maybe it’d help you appreciate their struggles better. 😌😅🥹😁🤭 Often we’re too quick to intentionally or unintentionally invalidate people’s struggles simply because we’re not on the other side of the equation. It takes experiencing certain things firsthand to appreciate things better. But really!
