On the Ground in Ukraine: Reports From the Front Lines of the Refugee Crisis

Stories will be shared by Elise Udelson, Women’s Philanthropy Campaign Chair; Oksana Galkevich of Federation’s overseas partner the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC); and Dr. Enrique Ginzburg, a Miami-area trauma surgeon who administered critical care to individuals injured in the war and trained dozens of other local physicians serving in the war zone.
