Board History
ICP Care was founded in April 2012 by Donna Benavides, whose journey supporting families affected by Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (ICP) began years earlier through the online support community itchymoms.com. After becoming the owner of the platform in 2008, Donna dedicated herself to connecting with families searching for answers, support, and hope during their ICP pregnancies. Her passion for advocacy, education, and stillbirth prevention led to the creation of ICP Care, a nonprofit organization committed to improving outcomes for families affected by ICP.
The growth and success of ICP Care have been made possible through the dedication of volunteer board members and team leaders who have generously contributed their expertise, leadership, and compassion throughout the years.
In 2012, Donna connected with Hilary Boyer through the Yahoo ICP support group. Hilary joined as a volunteer moderator for ICP Care’s support groups and served as a Board Member from 2014–2022. She continues to serve as Science Specialist Advisor, providing invaluable scientific expertise and deep knowledge of ICP.
In 2013, Kim Viscio joined the team through the ICP Care itchymoms Facebook support group. As Volunteer Marketing Manager and Board Member from 2013–2019, she helped expand awareness through strategic marketing initiatives. Alongside Director Vance Malone, she contributed to the development of the ICP Awareness Video Series.
In 2017, Amparo Healey joined ICP Care as Spanish ICP expert, supporting Spanish initiatives, the Spanish website, and early development of the ICP Care Patient Registry. She played a key role in launching the ICP Care Spanish website in 2018 and served as Vice President and Board Member through 2025, helping expand outreach to Spanish-speaking families and representing ICP Care at healthcare provider conferences.
Lia McKernan joined the volunteer team in 2018 and served on the Board from 2019–2022.
The Board expanded significantly in 2020, welcoming fundraising and events professionals Kaitlan Terry and Elisabeth Naff, legal professional Jason Miller (served through 2021), and social media specialist Grace Abraham, each of whom contributed meaningfully during their board terms.
ICP Care was also honored to have Dr. Laura Bonebrake, OB/GYN, serve as a Medical Advisory Board Member through 2026, where she also supported the launch and development of the ICP Care Patient Registry, providing important clinical guidance and structure.
In 2021, the Board welcomed Carla Karp, Nicole Lorentz, and Aireen Turner, who each completed their board terms and contributed valuable leadership during their service.
In 2023, Yvonne Casuso joined the Board as Development Associate, supporting organizational growth and outreach efforts.
ICP Care has continued to grow with the addition of newer board members, including Damia Petrie, Kyli Smith, and April Hubbard, who continue to advance the organization’s mission.
In the 2026–2027 Board term, ICP Care is honored to have Dr. Maria Cecilia Estiú serving as a Board Member. She joined ICP Care in 2022, supporting Spanish initiatives, the Spanish website, and the ICP Care Patient Registry. She is a leading clinician and researcher whose work has significantly advanced global understanding and management of Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy, contributing to improved outcomes for mothers and babies worldwide.
As ICP Care enters the 2026–2027 Board term, we are excited to welcome new Board Members who will continue building upon the strong foundation established by past and present leaders.
Today, ICP Care remains a volunteer-driven nonprofit powered by families, advocates, medical professionals, and supporters united in one mission: to provide support, education, advocacy, and research advancement to improve care and outcomes for families affected by Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy.
