In Loving Memory of Kelly Gallagher, CHCA Co-founder and Board Member

It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of our esteemed board member, Kelly Gallagher, on Friday morning, June 12, 2026.

Kelly served on CHCA’s steering committee in 2017 and on our Board of Directors since we incorporated, offering unwavering dedication, wise counsel, and a genuine passion for our mission. Her leadership and generosity touched not only our organization but also the countless individuals whose lives were improved through our efforts.

Beyond her professional contributions to CHCA, Kelly played a key role in advocacy against mercury used in dental and health products, the production of several documentaries, and creating and hosting health related events. She will be remembered for her kindness, integrity, and the warmth she brought to every interaction. Kelly inspired us with her vision and energy, and she reminded us of the power of service to others.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Kelly’s family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Kelly Gallagher’s legacy will continue to guide and inspire us in the years ahead.

With deepest sympathy,

CHCA Board of Directors

TRIBUTES

“Kelly was sharing her expertise and her creativity EVERYWHERE in the health freedom movement. She was a brilliant light and we miss her dearly.“
Karen Harris, CHCA Co-Founder and Board Member

“Whether she was on a stage, organizing an event, or in the hospital, she always had a smile on her face and big ideas to further the cause of health freedom.“
Valerie Noble, CHCA Co-Founder and Board Member

“Such an honor and a joy to have worked alongside Kelly for nearly ten years. She was foundational in building our non‑profit and stayed deeply committed as a board member for as long as she possibly could. We never knew where she’d be when her Zoom camera turned on — another state or country, on land or at sea, on a train, on a plane, or even in a hospital room. She carried big ideas, bigger connections, and an unwavering willingness to jump in and make things happen. What a life! Our community mourns, and we lift her up in prayer.”
Kathleen Miller, CHCA Co-Founder and Board Member

“Kelly Gallagher was one of the strongest women I have ever known. From our first meeting on the Vaxxed bus in 2017 to our years serving together on the CHCA board, I was continually inspired by her courage, kindness, and love for others. Her warrior spirit, adventurous heart, and beautiful friendship will be deeply missed.”
Dene Schulze-Alva, CHCA Co-Founder and Board Member

“Kelly was a force of nature. She beat cancer naturally 5 times and still managed to find time to advocate for our rights and access to mercury-free products. Kelly’s unstoppable nature has inspired many and her legacy will continue far into the future. Rest in peace, beautiful Kelly.”
Michelle Ford, CHCA Co-Founder, V-IAL.org Founder and President

“I had the privilege of knowing Kelly for nearly a decade, and her unwavering dedication to health freedom and the people she served left a lasting impact on all who knew her.”
