UNM Children's Hospital Heart Center (CHHC)

The Children's Hospital Heart Center (CHHC) is the center of a statewide program in Pediatric Cardiology located within the UNM Children's Hospital.  The main purpose of CHHC is to provide service to children with heart disease and their families.   For patient convenience, there is a single place -- the Children's Hospital Heart Center-- where children are seen, tests done, consultations performed, and teaching accomplished.

Extensive outreach activities throughout the state are directed from the Heart Center via a single telephone number (505-272-3864).  Medical students and postgraduate trainees also learn Pediatric Cardiology in this facility.  CHHC personnel include Board Certified Pediatric Cardiologists, technicians specially trained in children's echocardiography, Pediatric Nurses, and Child Life Specialists.
