The ACHD Roundtable

✨ Get to Know Marisa ✨

Marisa is an ACHD patient from Mandeville, Louisiana, who joined the ACHD Roundtable to give back to the community and help create meaningful change through patient-centered research and connection.

She’s inspired by the opportunity to learn, grow, and be there for others living with ACHD as we work toward a better future together. One thing Marisa wishes more people understood about ACHD is the importance of mental health care.

We’re grateful to have Marisa’s voice as part of this work. 💙

Meet Suhas

Suhas joined the ACHD Roundtable because he was inspired by the opportunity to work alongside patients, physicians, and researchers to improve access to ACHD care from the ground up.

“Patient-centered research is important to me because the voices of those directly impacted by care are essential. Real change happens when patients are involved in shaping the path forward.”

Suhas is especially passionate about affordability and insurance:
“CHD care is lifelong and complex, often leading to high costs and gaps in coverage. We need to keep these issues front and center to create more equitable access for everyone in the ACHD community.”

We’re grateful to have Suhas at the table. Bringing lived experience, insight, and determination to help move ACHD care forward.
