Dr. Duggan, founder and managing director of Health Care Volunteers International, has brought thousands of pounds of medical supplies to the country. 

Health Care Volunteers International provides surgeries, amputations and other medical procedures to Ukrainian civilians who need them. 

“The character of the individuals you’re working with and their commitment to their country and to their people is just really something you don’t see anywhere else, I think, in the world right now,” Dr. Duggan told WCVB.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
