Meet Our Team

The Emory Adult Congenital Heart Center (EACH) features a multidisciplinary management team that includes both adult and pediatric cardiologists, congenital cardiac surgeons, electrophysiologists, interventional cardiologists, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers and echocardiographers. We also work with collaborative partners who have a special interest and expertise in managing adults with congenital heart defects (CHDs) from a range of specialties, including neuropsychology, hepatology, obstetrics and general surgery. In addition, nurse practitioners provide adolescent transition liaison services as needed in collaboration with pediatric cardiologists at the Emory-Children’s Center.
