Hospital staff say they put on the photo shoot to make Valentine’s Day memorable for the kids and raise awareness around congenital heart defects - a condition that affects almost one percent of all births in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control. It's also the most common disease in newborn babies.

February is also American Heart Month, which has all of us spreading the love!
