The annual “Feel the Beat” event hosted by the Todd and Karen Wanek Family Program for Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) will be held on October 8 in Rochester, Minn.  “Feel the Beat” brings together clinicians, researchers, advocates, and families affected by a severe heart defect known as HLHS. The one-day event showcases the latest research, highlights guest speakers and brings together the congenital heart disease community.  This year’s event will feature a patient and family-led panel focusing on patient engagement followed by a panel of collaborators from around the country discussing the transformation of HLHS care.

The event held Saturday, October 8, 2016, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., is open to everyone.
