Who We Are
A parent-led nonprofit supporting Hudson Valley families affected by Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE).
Hudson Valley HIEroes was created by parents who understand the HIE journey firsthand.
Through connection, education, and advocacy, we provide local support, trusted resources, and a community where families never have to navigate HIE alone.
What is HIE?
Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) is a type of brain injury that occurs when a baby’s brain does not receive enough oxygen and blood flow around the time of birth. The severity of HIE can vary widely, and its effects may not be fully understood right away.
HIE affects each child differently. Some children experience mild developmental challenges, while others face complex medical needs, and some families endure the heartbreaking loss of their child. Families navigating an HIE diagnosis often face uncertainty, isolation, and the need for long-term support. Hudson Valley HIEroes exists to ensure these families never walk that journey alone—by offering community connection, trusted resources, and compassionate support.
Support HIE Families
in your own Community
There are many ways to show your support. Choose the one that’s right for you.
Your support makes this work possible. Donations directly fund quality-of-life resources, community connections, advocacy efforts, and inclusive events for children with HIE and their families — ensuring no family in the Hudson Valley faces their journey alone.
Every contribution, whether time, presence, or donation, helps build a stronger support network for HIE families.
