Hi, we're Tom and Kat Hansen! In 2014 our son Harding was diagnosed with Congenital Heart Disease, and since then we've experienced the ups and downs that come along with being a CHD parent. In this podcast we share some of the lessons we've learned along the way, and the things we wish we knew at the start of our CHD journey. We also talk to CHD experts to get their stories of hope, encouraging insights, and valuable resources to give parents like us the right help at the right time. You can find us at www.tomandkathansen.com and @tomandkathansen on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter!

19 - CHD Parent & Film Writer/Producer Michael Katchman: New Film "Building the Field: Lifelong Care for CHD" & the Importance of Transitioning Care for CHD Children into Adulthood

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!
