Newsletters

The Children's Heart Research and Outcomes (HeRO) Center is proud to publish a biannual newsletter designed to keep our community informed and connected. Each issue brings together the latest HeRO publications and study spotlights, announcements, awards, and upcoming events, while also celebrating the incredible work of our faculty through a dedicated spotlight feature. These newsletters are created for HeRO faculty, graduate students, and medical residents/fellows, with the goal of fostering collaboration, sharing knowledge, and highlighting the many ways our community is advancing pediatric research and care.

We invite you to explore our archive of past issues from the last few years, which showcase the breadth of accomplishments and inspiring stories across our HeRO community.
