Get Involved / Volunteer Recognition
Over 600 people have worked as ICHF medical team and non-medical volunteers. They do special and wonderful work for ICHF and almost 80% work with ICHF on a continuing basis. Here we showcase a few of our volunteers with in-depth profiles and pictures. Their work, like those of all our volunteers, make significant contributions to ICHF. To nominate a volunteer for special recognition, please email the ICHF Administrative Director.
