Welcome to Our First Edition of Heart-to-Heart
Hello, everyone and welcome to Heart-to-Heart, our official, quarterly e-newsletter
from Phoenix Children's Heart Center. We are excited as this newsletter is truly a
partnership between the Hospital and the Heart Center Family Advisory Council
(HCFAC).
The newsletter will offer the most up-to-date news from both groups. Enjoy!
In This Issue: Meet the Team + Latest Heart Center Updates
In honor of American Heart Month, Dr. Daniel Velez, our Division Chief of CardiothoracicSurgery and Co-Director of the Phoenix Children's Heart Center, wants to share an important
significance of this surgery. "The
positioning of the valve keeps Jaxton off
blood thinner medicine (to avoid blood
clots) which is very hard to regulate in a
baby. It also has side effects and puts him at
high risk for excessive bleeding."
Jaxton's surgeon, Division Chief of
Cardiothoracic Surgery, Dr. Daniel Velez
added customization is key. "Jaxton's
valve can be adjusted with minimal
invasiveness in our Cath Lab as he grows,
which is a great alternative to multiple open
heart surgeries."
Jaxton was recently featured in the news
here and here. Keep an eye out on the
Phoenix Children's social media profiles and
website for Jaxton's Heart Month grand finale video story!
