Fiscal Year 2024 Annual Report

Dov stated the following “I express my heartfelt appreciation for the Governor’s actions and sentiment in embracing Israel following the massacre of October 7th (2023) and the year which has followed, including lowering Virginia flags to half-mast. I am also grateful to the Attorney General, who visited Israel and sent support gear, and to the Lieutenant Governor for her visit to Israel. Their efforts exemplify the unique affinity many Virginians have for Israel, a connection that spans the many religions, races and ethnic communities throughout the Commonwealth.

One of VIAB’s most uplifting initiatives this year was led by Health Wagon, based in Wise County, along with in Virginia and smaller Israeli-VA. We also deepened and the University of Virginia’s Telemedicine program. Together, they deployed 100 telemedicine devices donated by TytoCare, an Israeli company, to medically underserved communities in Southwest Virginia. These TytoCare broadened commonwealth-wide partnerships with Virginia Tech and economic development teams, notably Arlington devices, supported by Starlink satellite technology arranged by a VIAB board member, allow healthcare providers EDAs who traveled to Israel with a VEDP group to cultivate prospects and are supporting marketing National Landing to communicate with patients in remote areas.”
