Central District Hospital: The main health facility and administrative center for the public healthcare system. Each of Ukraine’s 490 districts has one.

Tyler English

Tyler works in the social service field as an outreach worker and program coordinator for a peer support team in the emergency departments.

Methods

In-depth interviews were conducted with 10 FSU immigrants living in New York City who initiated opioid use in adolescence or young adulthood, and with 6 drug treatment providers working with t
