UK Healthcare: Make public mortality rate ped cardiothoracic surgery 2010,2011,2012

The Issue

This is public information that needs to be given to families/public so that they can make the best decisions on where to take their complex children for care. There needs to be transparency especially to parents of these children. This does not interact with HIPAA and is the publics right to know these facts to make informed decisions for the well being of their children. You can find stories on this below.

Ceo is Dr. Michael Karpf and you may also find more on WUKY that lead to this petition.

Also, we need these rates to be broken down by surgical type, norwood, cath,arterial switch etc. So the public knows if this is the proper institution to care for their childs needs, no matter the CHD.
