The humanitarian crisis in Ukraine remains dire and the needs for medical aid are enormous. A medical relief effort out of the Midwest has already sent hundreds of tons of equipment and supplies via the Ukrainian Medical Association of North America (UMANA, https://umana.org/) and other partner NFPOs/NGOs such as Rotary, Milwaukee-based charity, Friends of Be An Angel, and others. WRS member, Dr. Douglas Davis, is a volunteer in these organizations and helps to lead these efforts. Dr. Davis is "Ukrainian-by-marriage" and welcomes all those from the Wisconsin medical community who would like to assist. There are a number of different ways to get involved:

• Provisioning of "in kind" donations of critical need medical supplies and equipment.
• 501(c)3 monetary donations to support purchases of critical equipment, e.g., Zoll ventilators/defibrillators
• Volunteers to support shipments of donations to Ukraine. A Wisconsin volunteer signup link is maintained by the Rotary Club of Milwaukee.

Please visit any of these links for more details or reach out directly to Dr. Davis at douglas.davis@aya.yale.edu or to his wife, Dr. Nataliya Uboha at UW Carbone Cancer Center.
