ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Governor Larry Hogan today announced that the Maryland Department of Health (MDH) has donated 50 Astral portable ventilators to treat patients at front line hospitals in Ukraine. Donated to the Paul Chester Children’s Hope Foundation (PCCHF)—a Dickerson-based grassroots medical organization that provides surgical care to people in developing countries—the ventilators will support the treatment of children and adults who have been wounded during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
“The State of Maryland continues to stand in solidarity with President Zelensky and the people of Ukraine,” said Governor Hogan. “We are proud to make this donation to help save lives and aid the Ukrainains in the fight against Russian aggression.”
“Contributing medical equipment to help treat wounded Ukrainians in this great time of need is the least we can do,” said MDH Secretary Dennis R. Schrader. “I commend Dr. Chester and his team for all their efforts to help Ukrainian doctors and nurses provide critical medical services to the citizens of Kyiv, Lviv, and other worn-torn areas.”
“I am beyond grateful for Governor Hogan, Secretary Schrader, Delegate Kipke, and the Maryland Department of General Services for their generosity and kindness,” said Dr. William Chester, PCCHF co-founder. “Without the help of truly dedicated individuals in the state and the assistance of the Maryland Society of Anesthesiologists, this would not have been possible. These ventilators will save lives during and after this terrible, senseless crisis.”
The Maryland Department of General Services (DGS) provided logistical and other support. The portable ventilators are scheduled to depart the United States today, and should arrive at front line hospitals throughout Ukraine later in the week.
“Like everyone, I’m horrified to see the tragic destruction and devastation in Ukraine because of the relentless attacks and invasion by Russia,” said Delegate Nicholaus Kipke. “We all want to do what we can to help people who are hurting there, which is why when I was approached by my friend Dr. Bill Chester about his efforts to send advanced level medical supplies to help in Ukraine I reached out immediately to the governor’s office to help.”
“These ventilators will help provide the additional support needed for the citizens of Ukraine,” said DGS Secretary Ellington E. Churchill, Jr. “General Services continues to do everything in our power to help aid the nation of Ukraine during their time of need.”
Speak for yourself Fat Larry regarding all Marylander’s support for Ukraine. There are many that do not go along with the parroting media, nor support Ukraine.
We have enough problems here. America first. FJB
Those words , “all Marylanders support Ukraine”, don’t appear in the article.
““The State of Maryland continues to stand in solidarity with President Zelensky and the people of Ukraine,” said Governor Hogan.””
Same thing, idiot.
The State of Maryland is a single government entity. You can tell this was the intent because State is capitalized. “All Marylanders”comprises some 6.2 million people. Quite a big difference. Next time, before you call someone an idiot, you might want to brush up on your English language skills.
Hahahahahahahaha it literally says the “the state of Maryland “ meaning all Marylanders
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Hahahaha good luck getting through to that moron, he can’t read nor do basic math
Can you hear me laughing at you?? You should be able to. NASA is picking up the sound on its Mars rovers!! Go back to the real estate thread. Go ahead. I DARE you. Read my post that said “Insurance on a $400k house is about $1500 per year.” and your idiotic reply: “$1500 for property taxes!!!!!!! You definitely don’t live here!!!!!” Seriously, though, you CAN hear me laughing at you, right?
It’s a troll
Troll
Americans have enough problems. America first. FJB.
Thank goodness we have some leaders who see greater things and a world leadership role for this country.
Troll
Thank you Governor Hogan 👍
He’s just another rino
and I thought FAKE republicans and FAKE christians believed that “all lives matter” – except Ukrainian
“Hahahahahahahaha it literally says the “the state of Maryland “ meaning all Marylanders” And yet again, you fail English.
Wrong
When something is grouped together in a sentence like that it means as a whole
Here’s your F
I’ll help you even more
If they didn’t mean all
Marylanders it should have said this
“A couple of Marylanders “. “A few Marylanders “ half of Marylanders “ Most Marylanders “ most of maryland “
But it doesn’t state that
I’ll give you twenty bucks if you do the high dive off the Thomas Johnson bridge
Thanks again for the laugh!
Here we go again with the two kindergartners bickering back and forth as usual
Repeating what I said above: “Big Dog Eats First says: March 22, 2022 at 2:56 pm The State of Maryland is a single government entity. You can tell this was the intent because State is capitalized. “All Marylanders”comprises some 6.2 million people. Quite a big difference. Next time, before you call someone an idiot, you might want to brush up on your English language skills.”
The State of Maryland continues to stand in solidarity with President Zelensky and the people of Ukraine,”
Wrong again
You quoting the same line I did is pointless, like everyone of your posts: pointless. Once again thanks for providing so much comic relief, No Clue!
When using a quote “the state of Maryland “ that means Maryland as a whole
And yet you got the quote wrong. It is amazing how you are so incapable of completing the simplest tasks.
Wrong
Yeah…you were…you are…and you always will be. The part of the quote you got wrong is the what makes all of your previous comments wrong. But you are not intelligent enough to spot the difference.
Wrong again
