Carmen Bringgold Volkart
Carmen rejoined MHIF's board of directors in 2024 after a short break–she originally served from 2014 - 2020. She brings with her extensive experience from serving as a chief financial officer in both public and privately held medical device companies for over 26 years, as well as over 15 years within the healthcare industry. She earned her Bachelor's in Accounting from the University of North Dakota and MBA from the Carlson School at the University of Minnesota.
When asked why she was passionate about MHIF and wanted to serve on the board, Carmen answered, "I had the good fortune of meeting Dr. Hauser years ago and, through him, learned to appreciate the remarkable work underway at MHIF. During my first years on the MHIF board, I met so many other physicians involved in that work and felt how truly passionate they were to further fundamental research and education in serving the community’s cardiovascular health needs, one patient at a time. Upon my return recently to the board, I have seen not only so many familiar physician faces as they continue their dedication to MHIF, but also many new talented ones dedicated to the mission of MHIF."
