Russian Invasion

Last week I was hired to follow a delegation of 30 ardent Russian doctors and health care professionals, who were in Denver. The Rotary Club of Denver and five other clubs hosted the delegates, in partnership with 9Health Fair, Colorado’s largest volunteer-driven nonprofit health fair program, during a week long crash course on reviving Russia’s fallen health care system. They participated in the Open World Program to examine health fairs with the expectation of implementing the same type of exhibitions back home. Delegates observed several 9Health fairs in and around Denver.
The delegates, selected with the help of Rotarians in Russia, met with national, state, and city leaders throughout the week, exchanging information and ideas about the two countries’ health care systems. I really felt honored to be hired and cover the program throughout the week.
