The Children’s Heart Foundation was an early and repeated funder of Dr. Mark Rodefeld's research to create a Fontan Blood Pump that simulates a heart pump and could reduce the need for heart transplants. Dr. Rodefeld went on to receive a $5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to continue his research on this revolutionary device. ❤

“The Children’s Heart Foundation funded this work substantially on two separate grants and got this over the finish line for me to get the NIH grant – the gold standard funding for biomedical research,” Dr. Rodefeld
