Bethesda, MD (April 30, 2015) - On behalf of the Heart Failure Society of America, we would like to express our deepest condolences to all those affected by the earthquake in Nepal and the surrounding area, including the families of those who died or were injured in Nepal, India, Bangladesh, and China. The loss from devastation of this magnitude, not just of human lives but of cultural heritage as well, can never be overestimated.

We would like to thank and praise all the responders in all the affected countries who are currently working to help save lives and provide aid. For those interested in giving support, potential outlets include:

The America Nepal Medical Foundation (ANMF). All the money raised by the ANMF will be donated to the local organizations like the Red Cross, MSF and other relief agencies on the ground in Nepal. The Nepal Chapter of ANMF is also on the ground assisting with coordination of the relief efforts.
