Under the umbrella of The Promise Armenian Institute at UCLA and implemented through the generosity, advocacy, and support of UCLA Health, UCLA’s Operation Armenia is a coordinated effort of a dedicated interdisciplinary team providing immediate medical disaster relief and long-term humanitarian aid and infrastructure support to Artsakh and Armenia.
The Operation Armenia team, led by Drs. Eric Esrailian, Shant Shekherdimian, and Alina Dorian consists of volunteers from the entire spectrum of the UCLA Health and University systems, including academic faculty, physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, psychologists, administrators, staff, and students. All of them, whether or not they are of Armenian descent, have rallied together to unite for a greater cause.
