The Vienna Teddy House Celebrates Its Ten-Year Anniversary

For a decade now, the Teddy House Vienna has been offering children with heart conditions and their families a temporary home during stressful hospital stays. Founded in 2015, this facility has developed into an indispensable retreat where parents, siblings, and grandparents can stay close to their child with a heart condition – a safe haven between clinical stress and family comfort.

Michaela Altendorfer, President of Herzkinder Österreich, emphasizes: “Before the Teddy House, it was common for many parents to spend the night under the most difficult conditions – sometimes in the car or elsewhere. Thanks to the Teddy House, this stressful emergency solution is a thing of the past.”

12,000 Overnight Stays in 10 Years

The Teddy House combines access to medical care with a small oasis for recharging, sleeping, and gaining strength – also for siblings and grandparents. This maintains family support and a piece of everyday life, which is especially valuable in this unique life situation.

In the past ten years, 1,350 families have already used the eight residential units of the house, which are just a stone's throw away from the Children's Heart Center Vienna. In total, just over 12,000 overnight stays have been recorded.
