About Us
When a child is born with a congenital heart defect, it can bring a range of emotions for families, from fear and uncertainty to determination and hope. At Children’s Nebraska, we understand these feelings and are committed to providing the best cardiac care possible. From minor murmurs to complex heart defects, disorders and diseases, we offer comprehensive care in our Dr. C.C. and Mabel L. Criss Heart Center. Our team provides specialized cardiac care for patients of all ages, from before birth through young adulthood and into adulthood for those with congenital heart disease, ensuring the highest level of care every step of the way.
