Brookwood Cardiologist from Poland works to get medical supplies and support to Ukrainian families
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - A Brookwood physician has launched an initiative to support medical institutions in Ukraine as well as mothers fleeing the war with children.
Dr. Jan Skowronski has launched the Fortuna Clinical Foundation for Ukraine to aid in a war that hits close to home.
“All of my ancestors lived in the area of today’s Ukraine,” Skowronski said in the Foundation’s informational video. He went on to say, “We cannot sit idle.”
Dr. Skowronski is from Poland, and says he has already opened his home there to refugees, but says he needs to do more, and now wants you to join in.
Dr. Skowronski said, “Sometimes in life things happen and you feel compelled to do things. Just looking at the degree of tragedy in Ukraine, I just could not sit idle and felt we really needed to do something as a community in Alabama.”
