Support for Charity and Community
Following this inspiring meeting, on Saturday, February 1, 2025, we had the privilege of attending the Petronela’s Hope Gold Charity Awards in Medway – a beautifully organized event led by Petronela Zilik, the founder of Petronela’s Hope, an organization dedicated to supporting women affected by domestic violence.
The evening was filled with solidarity, empathy, and a genuine willingness to help, bringing together incredible individuals with a shared goal of raising awareness and providing financial support for local communities. Moments like these remind us of the irreplaceable power of community—whether in healthcare, research, or charity, collaboration is the key to making a real difference.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to these events, and we look forward to continuing our mission to connect, support, and innovate.
Next, we will meet at the 1st Permanent Conference of Slovak Healthcare Professionals in Bratislava at the beginning of April. We look forward to seeing you there!
