Nancy Aossey is president and CEO of International Medical Corps, a humanitarian organization dedicated to saving lives and relieving suffering through health-care training programs that build self-reliance. Aossey joined International Medical Corps shortly after its founding in 1984 and helped launch its early activities in Afghanistan, Angola, Somalia, Bosnia, Rwanda and Kosovo. Aossey has since transformed it into one of the largest, most effective relief organizations, delivering more than $1.2 billion of assistance, health services and training to tens of millions of people in more than 65 countries. Today, International Medical Corps' 4,500 staff and thousands of volunteers work in the world's most challenging places, including Darfur, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Pakistan, Haiti, Syria, Libya and South Sudan. Aossey has testified numerous times before Congress and frequently briefed the White House on humanitarian issues. She received a B.A., M.B.A. and honorary doctorate from the University of Northern Iowa.
