Thanks to our First Ukrainian Volunteer Team

Dr. Nastia Furtak has been a regular volunteer at BMC; she even served for 21 months from 2019-2020 during the COVID pandemic. She continues to return regularly to BMC but this trip was exciting because she brought the first team from Ukraine to work with us this past month.

Accompanying Dr. Furtak were cardiologist Dr. Maria Derzhypilska and medical student Nastia Volkova. All three physicians worked very hard to overcome cultural and language barriers to care for the needs of their patients. We were truly blessed to have this Ukrainian team and hope the partnership will continue for many years.
