Dr. Francis (Frank) Duggan honored by the Norfolk South District Medical Society for the 2024 Community Clinician of the Year Award
WALTHAM – Dr. Frank Duggan, an emergency physician from Hingham, has been honored by the Norfolk South District Medical Society as their 2024 Community Clinician of the Year awardee.
Duggan is recognized for his ongoing commitment to helping care for patients during his more than 20 years as a physician.
He has spent his personal time volunteering across the world, logging well over 20,000 hours of patient care in dozens of countries, including Cambodia, Haiti, Kenya, and Nicaragua, and, most recently, Ukraine where he provided supplies and assistance
to locals impacted by war.
In 2014, he founded Health Care Volunteers International (HCVI). Through this organization, Duggan has outfitted six Ukrainian hospitals with HCVI Digital Health platforms and equipment, including power generators, high-definition cameras and microscopes,
video monitors, and high-speed Wi-Fi. HCVI is engaged in numerous large-scale projects, primarily in the eastern part of the country, and has brought in over $4 million of desperately needed medications, equipment, and supplies. Dr. Duggan has made
six trips totaling approximately 8 months’ time in Ukraine since the beginning of the war. The majority of his time in country has been spent working closely with military surgeons and anesthesiologists at the Eastern Front providing trauma care and
performing stabilization surgery.
He encourages any physicians and other healthcare providers who are interested in international volunteer work to visit the HCVI website, https://www.hcvi.org/, or to contact him by email
at FrankDuggan@hcvi.org.
