Why travel matters
Ebstein’s Anomaly is rare. Expert repair is rarer.
One in every 200,000 people born are diagnosed with Ebstein’s Anomaly. Surgeons who specialize in repairing it are even more scarce. That is why traveling to expert medical care is necessary.
The organization began helping heart patients travel in 2020 and soon expanded to include other life-threatening and rare congenital heart diseases.
