Bob Downs has worked as a physician assistant in the tiny mountain town of Lake City for the past decade.
The 66-year-old retired from full-time practice in February. Then, in March, he went to Ukraine on a medical mission with Global Care Force, a nonprofit organization. Downs needed to raise $6,500.00 to go on the trip. He surpassed that goal in a matter of days, with a majority of his funding coming from the Lake City community.
Downs talks about his experiences in war-torn Ukraine.
