May 18, 2022 11 a.m.–12 p.m. Central time

As the invasion in Ukraine wages on, healthcare leaders and organizations have pushed to provide support through donations of supplies, funds and time. For those who want to help, it can be difficult to weed through the numerous mechanisms for providing support to determine how to make the biggest positive impact.

In addition to specifics on this current crisis, presenters will draw on lessons learned and best practices to provide helpful guidance on how the healthcare community can contribute significantly toward present and future humanitarian relief efforts to promote successful sustainability and recovery.
