CHERUBS - The Association of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Research, Advocacy and Support

Why CHERUBS Was Founded:

• To help parents understand what’s happening to their child by cutting through all the medical jargon that so many doctors use.
• To let parents know that they are not alone and that there are other people who know exactly what they are going through and how they feel.
• To advocate for pre-natal diagnosis of CDH and National Birth Defects Monitoring.
• To provide support in a time of need, through our many services or just by lending an ear.
• To help prevent complications by informing parents of potential problems and side-effects.
• To help doctors better communicate with the parents of their patients.
• To encourage awareness for a birth defect that receives little research funding and virtually no media attention.

The focus of CHERUBS has always been to help support and educate parents whose children have been diagnosed with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. After two decades of supporting thousands of CDH patients, CHERUBS has grown and evolved to explore CDH research and awareness in addition to family support.
