Lene Osmundsen - President
I am a CHD-patient representing the Norwegian adult CHD association «Voksne med medfødt hjertefeil» (VMH). In my day to day life, I work as a clinical psychologist in a somatic hospital, assisting patients with psychological concerns in combination with, or as a result of, physical illness. To me, seeing the whole person is a vital part of any good treatment plan, which also shapes the foundation of my focus as a volunteer. It is my goal for ECHDO that we continue to grow as an arena for patient organisations to come together and feed off each other’s experience in order to best care for our patients in the years to come.
Emilie Mikalsen - Vice President
I work as nurse in an acute observation unit, and I hope my experience and education can allow me to offer more focus on safe, timely and effective patient centered care for CHD patients. As the vice president, I hope to continue advocating and in the end, be able to offer CHD patients a better quality of life and improve their access to healthcare world wide.
