#ParentsDay is July 28. Parents and Caregivers in the CHD community are incredible individuals. Often times mom is caring for the CHD child in the hospital while dad is taking care of the siblings at home. Today we celebrate all CHD parents and what it means to be them. Comment STRONG if you know an incredible CHD parent! #4TheKids #KerringtonsHeart #KentuckyStrong #CHDstrong #HeartHeroes #HeartDisease #CongenitalHeartDisease #Summer #Summertime #Kentucky #SpecialNeeds #NonProfit

Caring for Children's Hearts
About us
Kerrington’s Heart is dedicated to the education, support, and encouragement of Kentucky children with heart defects, their families, and caregivers. We strive to assist patients and families through each step in their journey of dealing with Congenital Heart Defects (CHD). We offer comfort bags, certificates of bravery, educational support and financial assistance to families in need of meals, fuel and lodging. We offer a variety of craft activities and hospital room decorations to further encourage the children during their stay at the hospital. Our Heart Moms Connect are offered quarterly in Lexington, Kentucky to provide an outlet for CHD mothers to connect with one another. We provide numerous events throughout the year to bring Kentucky families together, creating a support system of life long friends while also giving CHD kids the ability to have “normal” childhood experiences such as Cookies with Santa and our Family Weekend Camp. We are also a proud sponsor of the Beads of Courage program at the Kentucky Children’s Hospital. This program enables children to tell their story using colorful beads as meaningful symbols of courage that commemorate milestones they have achieved along their unique treatment path. Our goal is to strengthen the support to families that have experienced the loss of a child to CHD by creating our Hearts & Halos program. This program includes bereavement support team with meetings and events. Kerrington’s Kloset, a magical toy Kloset, located in the Pediatric Cardiology Clinic helps to put a smile on the faces of children that experience long hard pre-op days as well as difficult testing at their Cardiology appointments.
