AdvaMed Resources for Ukraine Humanitarian Needs
In response to the ongoing humanitarian and refugee crisis in Ukraine, AdvaMed has compiled the following resources to share with members who are eager to provide large scale in-kind donations or financial support. We will continue to update this list as more information and resources become available. For any questions, please reach out to Abby Pratt ([email protected]).
