A Tribute From The India Health Foundation

Cyndi Wiese’s life, her last months and days, inspired the human spirit and ignited in her the will- to-live, work, and share with others. She embraced people of the world with a joy and quiet triumph celebrating the human spirit and her faith in God. We were fortunate to share with her and her family the last precious days of her life. We honor her life, work, and friendship with the dedication of the Cyndi Wiese Women’s Health Initiative


IHF Founder and Co-Chair
Nasreen Hussain with Cyndi Wiese

Cyndi’s vision of “Hands, Heart, and Hope” conceptualizes this work. The hands cupping the heart represent the skill of health care professionals. The heart displays the love and compassion which carries in it the flame of hope for the empowerment of women. Micah Wolfe, a founding student member of the India Health Foundation, designed and created the logo based on Cyndi’s idea. Cyndi was delighted by this design and it is with joy, love, and commitment that we undertake this initiative to celebrate her life.
