50 Celebrating 50 Years

Dear Friends,

At 50 years, Children’s HeartLink is not only going strong, but we’re stronger than ever, thanks to every one of you. Thanks to you, the number of children we serve has doubled in just 4 years! Together, every year we are saving and improving the lives of more children born with heart disease around the world.

Since 1969, when children were flown from Vietnam to Minneapolis for lifesaving heart surgery, we’ve been committed to treating young heart patients and giving them a chance to survive and thrive. Our approach to serving children has changed over the years to expand our reach and lasting impact, but our commitment has never wavered. For 50 years we’ve been the champion of children with congenital heart disease in underserved parts of the world.

Our lifesaving work is possible only because of you. This past year we served over 171,000 children and trained over 4,000 local medical professionals in the countries where we work.

Our Founder Dr. Joe Kiser, who died this past year, believed in the value and dignity of every single life, especially the life of a sick child. For a half-century, he inspired the people around him to help change the trajectory of these young lives. A gifted surgeon, Dr. Kiser also exceled at building relationships both close to home and around the world.

The power of the partnerships built by Dr. Kiser and others who led this organi- zation over the past 50 years has been key to our success and longevity. We have always counted on our generous and compassionate partners, and with your con- tinued support, we will expand to reach more of the children who still lack access to care. Our plans to double our reach by 2030 are ambitious but necessary and urgent. Every 5 minutes 10 children are born with a heart defect, and nine of those 10 children don’t have access to the care they need.

With your help, together we will continue to make real and lasting change for these children and empower the medical teams who serve them in Brazil, China, India, Malaysia and Vietnam. Thank you for helping us give more children the strongest possible start in life.

With gratitude,

Our Vision Children around the world have access to high-quality heart care.

Our Mission To save the lives of children with heart disease, we partner with organizations to train medical teams, provide education and transform health care in underserved parts of the world.

The Need Congenital heart disease is the most common birth defect. One in 100 children is born with heart disease. Only one in 10 has access to care. Your Support Changes Lives
