Our Congenital Heart Surgery Program staff is inspired by the strength of our heart warrior, Alaina, who was born with a congenital heart defect. Her family chose Medical City Children's Hospital to provide her with high-quality heart care. After a full sternotomy, Alaina is doing better than ever!
