To raise awareness and advocate for children with congenital heart disease (CHD), ensuring early diagnosis, access to care, and empowered families-especially in underserved and Hispanic communities. Every heartbeat deserves a chance.
At Fundación Estrellita de Belén, we believe that education is a powerful tool for prevention. That’s why we develop educational programs designed to inform, empower, and raise awareness among families, communities, and professionals about congenital heart disease, early detection, and comprehensive patient care.
Our goal is to ensure that everyone has access to the knowledge needed to recognize warning signs, seek medical help, and become a changemaker in their community.
