Join Holocaust Museum Houston for the 2024 Ruth Vinn Hendler Lack Lecture with Walter Ulrich, President & CEO of the nonprofit organization Medical Bridges. Medical Bridges is a leader in global health equity and a life-changing and lifesaving nonprofit serving the global poor by providing needed medical supplies and equipment to clinics and hospitals. In the last 24 months, Medical Bridges prepared, staged, and shipped nearly 500 tons of desperately needed medical supplies and equipment valued at more than $22 million to Ukraine,Gaza, Afghanistan, and developing countries in the Americas, Africa, and Asia while also providing PPE to support rural clinics and charitable hospitals in Texas. Medical Bridges was named the Astros Foundation Charity of the Year for 2022.

Ulrich will share how organizations like Medical Bridges serve as a quintessential part of ensuring the protection of human rights around the globe by supplying badly needed medical supplies to those who need them most, and by creating stability and opportunities for peaceful and democratic societies to flourish. We all benefit by ensuring that access to quality medical supplies remains open to all.
