When it comes to matters of the heart, we care for children with the most complex conditions — starting before birth and continuing for life. Families are supported every step of the way by bold innovation, compassionate expertise, and care that’s redefining what’s possible.
Just ask Sunley — a spirited 7-year-old born with a rare heart defect who has undergone five heart procedures at Texas Children’s. Join us to meet Sunley and her family, and see what hope and healing truly look like.
