North Shore Medical Center supports the American Heart Association congenital heart defect week to raise awareness for congenital heart defects. Volunteers from around the country knitted red hats for the babies. While celebrating the birth of these babies, these caps also help the American Heart Association celebrate American Heart Month. This campaign is aimed at helping to create awareness for the number one birth defect in the United States.
