In this episode we talk to CHD Parent & Film Writer/Producer Michael Katchman. We discuss his incredible new documentary entitled "Building the Field: Lifelong Care for CHD" and how important it is that children who have CHD and have received open heart surgeries don't get lost to care. Did you know that 90% of adults with CHD do not receive regular medical care for their CHD?! 90%! The medical field is now noticing what a vital need there is to ensure CHD patients receive lifelong care, both physically and emotionally. Michael's film follows the stories of 4 adults with CHD and their journey with lifelong care for their CHD. IT IS A MUST SEE EVERY CHD PARENT!
