Pediatric Heart Transplant Study Foundation

The PHTS Foundation’s mission is to raise and administer funds to advance the science and care of children while waiting for and after a heart transplant. The Foundation supports the good work of the Pediatric Heart Transplant Study , an international, multi-center registry established in 1993 for pediatric patients listed for heart transplantation. With more than 20 years of data collection and research, our understanding of a child who has undergone a heart transplant has significant broadened which has allowed for improved management of this complex population, thus maximizing their functional capacity providing a better quality of life. With the ultimate goal of continuing to improve patient outcomes, The PHTS Foundation is a way to ensure that the Pediatric Heart Transplant Study is strong and sustainable for the future.
