Bill > HM8

This Memorial, passed by the House of Representatives, officially designates February 7 through February 14, 2022, as "Congenital Heart Disease Awareness Week" to acknowledge and celebrate individuals in New Mexico born with heart defects, which are the most common birth defect affecting nearly one in every hundred babies. The memorial highlights the growing population of adults living with these conditions, emphasizing their need for lifelong specialized cardiac care, and recognizes the mission of the Adult Congenital Heart Association, a nonprofit organization founded in 1998, which is dedicated to supporting this community by improving access to resources and specialized care to achieve better patient outcomes.
