James Suen, M.D., Joins Medical Mission Team Treating Patients in Ukraine

By Linda Satter

A recent mission to Ukraine by a group of doctors to provide medical care to children and soldiers in Ukraine included James Y. Suen, M.D., a world-renowned otolaryngologist and distinguished professor at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS).

James Suen, M.D., and his former resident, Steve Orten, M.D., in Ukraine.

As an otolaryngic surgeon who specializes in head and neck cancer, congenital vascular lesions of the head and neck, and diseases of the larynx, Suen was part of a diverse team of medical experts that spent a week in March treating patients in Lviv, the largest city in western Ukraine.

Organized by the Dallas-based nonprofit group LEAP (Life Enhancement Association for People) Global Missions, in cooperation with the Christian Medical Association of Ukraine, the group treated babies and children with congenital deformities and adults with war injuries.
