Broadway St., Milwaukee. $41.50. 414-291-7800 or www.r- t-w.com CALENDAR By Eric Oliver Enterprise Staff OCONOMOWOC — The newborn wings of the Auro- ra hospital system are about to get a little more colorful. Every baby born during the month of February will wear a red hat as part of the Little Hats, Big Hearts cam- paign in partnership with the American Heart Associ- ation. The hats are meant to spark conversations on liv- ing a heart-healthy lifestyle, and increase awareness of c o n g e n i t a l heart defects in newborns. P e d i a t r i c c a r d i o l o g i s t John Ham- brook said the campaign will be a way for families to come together around a joyous event and start conversations on liv- ing healthy lives. "When a baby is born that's a time when families come together," Hambrook said. "We have this time when a big family is getting together in a really positive way for a joyful occasion, if we could steer the concept towards living a heart- healthy lifestyle, that would be a positive thing." Hambrook said obesity is one of the leading causes of heart-related problems. Through the red hats, he's hoping to raise awareness of the problem plaguing both adults and children. The campaign also helped Aurora realize change was needed in its health care system. Many communities don't have appropriate access to medical birthing facilities, so over the last six months and throughout the coming year, Aurora is expanding its pediatric spe- cialty services so "no one has to drive more than 10 minutes (for newborn care)," Hambrook said. Congenital heart defects The hats aren't only about raising awareness about healthier lifestyles, they're also focusing on heart-relat- ed defects in newborns. According to the Centers for Disease Control, heart defects affect 40,000 babies per year in the United States. They range in inten- sity and can be anything from one of the heart's valves not opening fully to a child being born without half a heart. The intensity of the defect relates directly to the survival rate of the baby. In general, survival rate across the spectrum is improving. Between 1973 and 1993, 67 percent of infants with critical heart defects survived one year. Between 1994 and 2005, that number rose to 83 percent. In addition, babies with minor heart defects live seemingly normal lives, meaning the population of people living with heart defects is also on the rise. The cause of the defects as a whole is still puzzling to the health care community, Hambrook said. Many of the causes of heart defects are unknown, but it's believed some are related to genetics. Studies have found parents who have one child with a heart defect have a slightly higher risk of hav- ing another. The cause of more than 95 percent of heart defects remains unknown. Hambrook said in general, the defects are diagnosed at the 20-week ultrasound, which allows the hospital to plan where the baby will be delivered. Minor defects can be handled at normal birthing centers, while the most advanced defects need high level care. Hambrook is one of only 30 pediatric cardiologists in Wisconsin, and shares his time between five Aurora facilities. He specialized in the field because it gave him the best of two medical worlds: family practice and advanced medicine. "If someone has a pedi- atric heart defect and it needs surgery, I end up see- ing them every year for the rest of their childhood," Hambrook said. "You get to know people very well. You get graduation and wedding announcements. You become part of their fami- ly." The importance of heart health is of obvious interest to him, and he hopes the hats can start some impor- tant conversations. "(The campaign is meant) for someone's grandfather to come in and say 'What's the red hat all about?'" Ham- brook said. "And for their child to have their opening message be 'Oh gosh, Dad, that's about living a heart- healthy lifestyle, maybe you should start exercising every day.' It's one of the big-picture kind of things the American Heart Associ- ation is hoping this can do."
