YAKOV GRADINAR, Chief Medical Officer for the Protez Foundation, joins host Steve Francisco for an informative discussion about the important work of Protez in providing free prosthetics to wounded Ukrainian soldiers, civilians, and children.
Born and raised in Ukraine, Yakov came to Minnesota 16 years ago to build a new life. He has found his life’s work in helping support the victims of Russia’s illegal war against the people of Ukraine.
The Protez Foundation not only provides free prosthetics, but also provides important follow-up care in Minnesota and Ukraine with volunteer physical and occupational therapists and psychologists.
Partnering with local hospitals such as Hennepin Healthcare and Allina and prosthetics makers such as Ottobock, the Protez Foundation is giving new hope to Ukraine’s heroes.
