Contents
This publication is intended to help you find emergency
congenital heart care when traveling. It lists the clinic name,
city, state and phone number, as well as the name of directors
of all the United States ACHD programs that confirmed
contact information as of 2015. It also lists contact information
for international (including Canadian) ACHD programs.
If you are choosing an ACHD care team, please consult the
online ACHD Program Directory available at www.achaheart.org.
This directory offers extensive information on size, staffing, and
services available at each program. Inclusion in the directory
does not mean that ACHA recommends or endorses an
ACHD program.
We urge all those seeking ACHD specialty care to ask your own
questions about what kind of special training, services, and
staffing are offered at any ACHD program you are considering.
For more information and resources to help you choose ACHD
care, visit www.achaheart.org.
The online directory’s interactive map of North American ACHD programs.

Planning Ahead
FOR HEALTH EMERGENCIES
Before You Go:
•
Ask your ACHD program:
What symptoms to consider an emergency;
What number to call to access 24-hour ACHD
coverage;
If you have special emergency risks or requirements.
•
Carry a 24-hour access number for your ACHD
program at all times;
•
Tell family/companions to call your ACHD program in
an emergency;
•
Carry key health records with you when you travel;
•
If you have active health issues, review travel plans
with your ACHD team;
•
If you will be in a remote location, ask about travel
evacuation insurance.
51
Planning Ahead
FOR HEALTH EMERGENCIES
On the Road:
•
If there is time, call your ACHD program first.
Ask them to contact the local ACHD program and
ER for you;
•
Tell the ER staff your diagnosis, health history, and
important health problems;
•
Make sure the ER staff contacts your ACHD program.
To help this happen, you/your companion may need
to initiate the call.
ACHA recommends the use
of ACHA’s Personal Health
Passport. It lists a 24-hour
access number for your
ACHD program, diagnosis,
and key health problems.
You can request/print a
Personal Health Passport
at www.achaheart.org.
