IMD Professors & Dr. NovickIn 2007, Dr. Novick was awarded the Frederique Passion Award for his work in creating and building the International Children’s Heart Foundation (ICHF). This included the opportunity for the IMD International graduate school of business (MBA), located in Berne Switzerland, to develop a case study about ICHF and its non-profit business model. After working with Dr. Novick on the case study in March 2008, the class enthusiastically decided to make donations to ICHF.
ICHF sincerely thanks those indiviudals who made donations. “It’s an honor for our work to be supported internationally,” said Dr. Novick. “Our medical team volunteers include many members of the international community. Everything we do is about helping the world’s under priviledged children with congential heart defects become healthier and more productive. Thank you, everyone!”
