Today we kick off #HeartMonth. ❤️ Every 15 minutes in the United States, a child is born with a congenital heart defect (#CHD) - the nation’s most common birth defect. Throughout the month, we’ll share inspiring stories and ways YOU can take action in support of our mission.

Heart Month is here!

Hey all! I hope you'll consider me for the #Inspiration4contest so that I might be able to take my science communication to orbit :)

@StillInFlux I’m tired of seeing people post “it was only a dozen people or so and the rest were staged for photo ops.” What kind of alternate universe are you in?! There is PLENTY of evidence showing the violence from a large number of the crowd.

Clinicians at @NorthwesternU and @LurieChildrens have designed and tested wireless, flexible, miniature sensors that monitor cerebral blood flow and oxygenation.

This flu season - expected to drag on longer than most - has been especially brutal & has killed 105 children to date, @CNN reports. It's not too late to have children vaccinated to prevent flu and lessen the symptoms if they do become sick. #VaccinesWork

Newborns receive an injection of vitamin K shortly after birth to prevent life-threatening bleeding that occurs with a vitamin K deficiency. In @nytimes, pediatrician @Phoebe_Danziger explains why this shot is essential & has no compelling side effects. https://t.co/6shw4pt95G

[American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds]

Cough medicine for children is less about medicine and more about marketing, as studies show they are ineffective and even unsafe, @DrJenniferShu tells @NPR. Try honey - but only in kids age 1 and older.

The causes of congenital heart defects, and opportunities to prevent them, are not widely known amongst the general public. PCHA continues to support research across the lifespan of CHD, including known/unknown risk factors and preventative measures. #𝐂𝐇𝐃𝐕𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 https:/

The flu poses a much bigger threat to children right now than the new coronavirus, and it's not too late to get vaccinated. The @weatherchannel provides information on the deadly season and how to #FightFlu. https://t.co/Ctd28f2hRv

[American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds]

Getting the flu vaccine is an important way to #FightFlu. Washing hands often can also help prevent the spread of the virus, especially after coughing, sneezing or wiping noses.

[Courtney Parker @cparker0620]

@kmlb09 It really does look like it! 🤔
