Behind every successful team are strong leaders. Today, we honor one of ours, Heart to Heart Founder & Medical Director, Nilas Young, MD, as he reaches an important personal milestone.

In 1989 Ben was diagnosed with Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA) at birth. At the time, there were very few hospitals in the U.S. capable of treating TGA.

At birth, Steven was diagnosed with congenital heart disease (CHD) – specifically, total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) and pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) – and would require open heart surgery as a newborn.

This week is National Nurses Week and we are pleased to shout from the rooftops – our nurses are indispensable!

Heart to Heart mourns the loss of our great friend, wise advisor, and steadfast supporter, Steve Holland, who passed away on January 19. Steve’s professional and civic contributions were impressive and numerous.

Last week, Heart to Heart program director Albina Popova, board president Frank Cetta, MD, general counsel Lizbeth Hasse, and Tigran Akobyan, MD traveled to Yerevan, Armenia.
