On March 13, 2025, the Director of the Board of the organization “Elevate Ukraine,” Jerry Fox, visited Ternopil National Medical University with his wife. He is an experienced volunteer who previously served as the head of the Bryan (College Station) Chamber of Commerce and held other leadership positions. Today, he dedicates much of his time to humanitarian aid for Ukraine.

“Elevate Ukraine” actively collaborates with a team of Ukrainian volunteers engaged in evacuating people from war-affected areas and delivering essential supplies to front-line and near-frontline zones. Despite the ongoing danger, these volunteers consistently provide humanitarian aid to regions under constant shelling.

The organization has over 50 years of experience in humanitarian projects in Ukraine and actively leverages its network of contacts in the United States and Eastern Europe.

Jerry Fox met with TNMU Rector Professor Mykhaylo Korda to discuss potential areas of cooperation. Professor Korda shared information about the university’s volunteer and humanitarian efforts and coordination with various partners.

Both parties agreed to coordinate joint efforts and strengthen collaboration between “Elevate Ukraine” and TNMU.
