Our Team
Mirnesa Delic
President
As a first-generation Bosnian American, I have always felt a strong desire to support individuals and families fleeing hardship. Having witnessed firsthand how difficult it is to rebuild a life in a foreign country while providing not only for yourself but for your family, I understand the emotional and practical challenges that come with starting over. Many newcomers are unaware of the resources and communities available to support them, or they struggle to navigate complex systems on their own. That understanding inspired me to help create Global Hearts for Health, an initiative dedicated to connecting vulnerable populations with essential health resources and support networks. I am passionate about advancing this mission and helping make each transition into a new life less stressful.

I have always believed that access to healthcare is not a privilege. It is a human right. As a student pursuing a career in medicine, I knew I didn’t want to wait until “someday” to make an impact. I wanted to start now. That is why I helped create Global Hearts for Health, to provide essential health resources, medical supplies, and support services to immigrant and refugee families in our own communities who are struggling to access basic care and necessities. New beginnings aren’t easy, especially when you’re navigating a new country, unfamiliar systems, and sometimes even a new language. I understand that firsthand, coming from a family of immigrants. Our mission is rooted in dignity and compassion. This work is deeply personal to me. Healthcare should feel accessible, safe, and human, no matter where you come from or what your story looks like.

Secretary
I joined Global Hearts for Health because I believe everyone deserves the chance to live their healthiest life. Unfortunately, many people face barriers such as limited access to healthcare resources and a lack of health education, which can prevent them from reaching their full potential. It’s because of these inequalities I want to be part of the solution. Being involved in an organization that works to educate, support, and uplift communities allows me to contribute to meaningful change.

Event Coordinator
As the child of parents who grew up in Kosovo and came to the United States as refugees, I have witnessed firsthand the challenges that come with rebuilding a life in a new country — especially when it comes to accessing healthcare. Hearing their stories and watching them navigate unfamiliar systems shaped my understanding of how overwhelming and isolating that experience can be for many families. I have always believed that access to quality healthcare is not a privilege, but a fundamental human right.
That belief is what inspired me to join this nonprofit. I am passionate about creating meaningful opportunities for underserved communities and helping ensure that no family feels alone when seeking care. Being part of an organization committed to empowering individuals through healthcare allows me to turn my family’s journey into purpose — and to help make care more accessible, compassionate, and equitable for all.
Ruweida Mohamed
I am a fourth year biochemistry major at augsburg university. I am aspiring to be a physician. I believe that healthcare is a basic right for all humans, regardless of your background. I strongly align with the mission of Global Health for Health Foundation (GHHF), which strives to provide healthcare to all humans, especially those who lack access due to geographic, financial, or systemic barriers. Through their work, they are not only addressing medical needs but also promoting health equity on a global scale. In the future, I hope to be part of a healthcare system that prioritizes accessibility and compassion, ensuring that every person has the opportunity to lead a healthy, fulfilling life. I am committed to gaining the knowledge, skills, and experiences necessary to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

Through my work in healthcare, I’ve seen how hard it can be for people to navigate medical systems and find the care they need. Watching how overwhelming it can be for vulnerable communities, including refugees and immigrant populations, to navigate resources has shaped how I think about working in healthcare. Being involved in Global Hearts for Health feels like an extension of my work as an EMT. It gives me the opportunity to connect people with support and resources that go beyond a trip to the ER. I care deeply about making sure people who need help are able to receive it, and it’s been really rewarding to work with others who want to support our community and make healthcare more accessible
