MEDICAL ADVISORS

The Children’s Cardiomyopathy Foundation’s (CCF) Medical Advisory Board is composed of leaders in the field of genetics and cardiology from academic medical centers across the United States who specialize in pediatric cardiomyopathy. The Medical Advisory Board provides scientific and clinical expertise to guide us in planning and implementing our research initiatives, educational resources for patients and healthcare professionals, and support services for families and caregivers.

All medical advisors contribute their expertise on a pro bono basis with no conflict of interest between their professional work and the volunteer work they do for CCF.
