Meet Our Board
Hudson Valley HIEroes is led by parents, caregivers, and advocates who understand Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy not just professionally—but personally.
Our board members bring lived experience, compassion, and a deep commitment to supporting families across the Hudson Valley. Together, they guide our mission, strengthen our community, and ensure no family navigates an HIE journey alone.
