Children’s Heart Fund
The Children’s Heart Fund, under the St. Charles Foundation, is an ongoing nonprofit program in place to assist families who have children with heart conditions and who may benefit from additional support navigating the complex world of specialized medical treatment and recovery.
The Children’s Heart Fund provides care coordination support services for families to ensure that patients can access all medical testing, treatments, and procedures needed to thrive. Support continues before, during, and after procedures, as the coordinator helps connect families with various community services. Families may need multiple medical providers, pre-procedure testing, follow-up care, and assistance navigating insurance authorization and billing. Many families need to leave Central Oregon in order to access the best care for their child. The Children’s Heart Fund has the necessary experience to ensure details don’t fall between the cracks and the process is less frustrating for parents.
In short, this organization helps families connect all of the necessary services so that the child can experience the best outcomes and have a promising future of good health. The entire Children’s Heart Center team has been closely involved with the Children’s Heart Fund since its inception.
