50% of children born with heart defects will need heart surgery at sometime in their life. Of those 50%, 35% need surgery in the first month in order to survive.
Over 1,000 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 .
