Register for ACTION VAD Bootcamp!
October 15, 2025 — Houston, Texas
The ACTION VAD Bootcamp, held prior to the 2025 International Pediatric VAD and Heart Failure Summit, will include hands-on and didactic education for clinicians seeking VAD training.
ACTION unites and connects our global healthcare community to improve outcomes for patients with heart failure.
This is the power of ACTION.
More than 14,000 hospitalizations related to pediatric heart failure occur annually in the United States alone. Heart failure in pediatrics varies greatly, and patients experience a wide range of outcomes. Additionally, research for pediatric heart failure is underfunded. The need is clear: our patients need better care and better outcomes.
Since 2017, we have continued to grow and engage an international community uniting our key stakeholders: patients, families, clinicians, researchers, payors, and industry. Using a quality improvement and research-based approach, we work in collaboration with each other, sharing data, finding better solutions, and discovering new innovations.
