Through outstanding clinical care, innovation and research, @ChildrensMercyKC has become a national leader in pediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery care. In this Powering Children’s Potential video, Children’s Mercy CEO Paul Kempinski and Aliessa Barnes, MD, Co-Director of the Ward Family Heart Center and Medical Director of the Brendan Tripp Elam Transplant Center, discuss how the Heart Center is improving the health of children with congenital heart disease and helping them fulfill their potential.

Ranked as one of the best pediatric cardiology and heart surgery programs in the country (#19) by U.S. News and World Report, Children’s Mercy has been at the forefront of outcomes transparency. Two new NIH grants are helping further the program’s research to improve outcomes and the patient experience for children with heart disease. The Heart Center has also been a leader in innovation. The CHAMP app, developed at Children’s Mercy, has improved outcomes for single ventricle patients and is now being used by children’s hospitals across the country.
