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.
