Kids at Heart Family Dinners are open to all Kids at Heart families and all patient families on the Cardiac Step-down Unit or the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU).
They give patients and families who are currently in the hospital a chance to:
- Spend time with families who have been at Children's in the past and who have faced similar issues.
- Enjoy a 30-45 minute educational presentation on cardiac topics or resources.
- Eat a group dinner, which we provide free of charge.
