Attention: Heart Transplant Families
At Transplant Families, we believe children and caregivers deserve to see themselves reflected in the resources designed to support them.
The Pediatric Heart Transplant Society (PHTS) Guidebook Revision Group is currently inviting original artwork created by children and youth to be featured in the upcoming edition of the PHTS Guidebook.
What is PHTS?
The Pediatric Heart Transplant Society is a collaborative network of pediatric heart transplant centers across the United States and internationally. Nearly every pediatric heart transplant center in the U.S. participates in PHTS, which means your child’s center is very likely part of this collective effort.
PHTS works to improve outcomes through shared research, best practices, and family-centered education. One of its most important resources for families is the PHTS Guidebook, a comprehensive tool that helps caregivers and patients better understand and navigate the transplant journey.
You can view the current edition of the guidebook here: https://pediatrichearttransplantsociety.org/guidebook/
Why Artwork Matters
Including artwork from transplant children and youth ensures that this national resource reflects the strength, resilience, creativity, and lived experience of the families it serves. Art has always been a powerful way for children to process, express, and tell their story. This is an opportunity for their voices to be part of a guidebook that supports families across the country.
Submission Details
Artwork must be original and created by a child or youth.
Any medium is welcome, as long as it can be shared digitally.
A completed consent form is required for all submissions.
