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

“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.”
