As tens of thousands of Jewish pilgrims have begun arriving in Uman, Ukraine, for Rosh Hashanah, United Hatzalah has established a new emergency care complex near the gravesite of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, the founder of the Breslov Hasidic movement. This site is the focal point of the annual pilgrimage, drawing worshippers from around the world each Rosh Hashanah. The new facility, featuring a command and control center, a dispatch center, a medical equipment center, and an emergency equipment warehouse, will play a critical role in coordinating emergency responses and ensuring that help is readily available during the holiday. Every year, United Hatzalah sends a delegation of volunteer physicians, paramedics, and EMTs from Israel to support the influx of visitors.
