John Reilly, a physician assistant from Shelter Island, spent the first half of March on a medical aid mission to Ukraine. As a volunteer with Global Care Force, for two weeks Reilly was part of a medical team that traveled to small towns and tiny villages, delivering routine health care to Ukrainian citizens in the midst of the war with Russia. The experience deeply affected him, and this week, Reilly joined the editors and senior reporter Stephen J. Kotz to talk about what he witnessed during his time in Ukraine and share his insight into what he learned from his first-hand visit to the war zone.
