DENVER (KDVR) — A Western slope doctor is about to journey to Ukraine for a fourth time to deal with residents within the war-torn nation.
Bob Downs, a long-time doctor, mentioned he was in search of “mission work” and got here throughout International Care Drive, which describes itself as “reworking lives via volunteerism.” The group affords worldwide assist in locations like Ukraine, Mexico and the Center East.
Downs, who helps run a neighborhood rural well being clinic, just lately returned from his third journey to Ukraine, which lasted 12 days.
Three United States volunteers accompanied Downs on his most up-to-date journey. He mentioned cell clinics handled greater than 400 Ukrainians for illnesses starting from hypertension to behavioral well being to post-traumatic stress.
He plans to return in April.
