Creating a world in which children with heart disease, and their families, achieve an optimal quality of life.

Founded in 1982 by a group of dedicated mothers seeking support and guidance as they navigated their children’s heart conditions, the Children’s Heart Society has since grown into a thriving and compassionate community. What started as a small network of parents has evolved into a strong organization committed to making a difference in the lives of heart kids and their families.
Over the years, CHS has raised thousands of dollars to support vital research into pediatric heart disease, helping to advance medical treatments and improve outcomes for children born with congenital heart defects. Beyond fundraising, CHS volunteers have collectively donated hundreds of thousands of hours, offering hands-on support, mentorship, and advocacy for heart kids and their families throughout the Edmonton area.
Through a wide range of programs, events, and initiatives, CHS has directly impacted the lives of hundreds of heart kids—many of whom have now grown into thriving adults. By fostering a sense of community, providing emotional support, and creating opportunities for connection, CHS continues to be a pillar of hope and strength for families facing the challenges of congenital heart disease.
