Cards for Nursing Homes
Jan 01, 2021 - Dec 31, 2021

Send Cards to Plano Nursing Homes

Support Seniors and their Caregivers


Because of the unprecedented spread of COVID-19, nursing homes are following strict government recommendations to protect residents and nursing home staff by restricting all nonessential entry into their facilities. However, this means that many residents can no longer enjoy their much-anticipated visits with friends and family, which is crucial for their emotional and mental health.

In partnership with The Texas Health Care Association

From 2004 to 2009, Hewko was vice president for operations and compact development for the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), a U.S. government agency established in 2004 to deliver foreign assistance to the world’s poorest countries. At MCC, he was the principal United States negotiator for foreign assistance agreements to 26 countries in Africa, Asia, South America, the Middle East, and the former Soviet Union. During his tenure, he completed the negotiation of assistance agreements totaling $6.3 billion to 18 countries for infrastructure, agriculture, water and sanitation, health, and education projects.

Hewko has been a public policy scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, an adjunct professor of law at Georgetown University, and a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He has published papers and articles in leading U.S. and international publications, and he has spoken extensively on political and business issues dealing with the former Soviet Union, Central Europe, Africa, and Latin America. He is also a member of the Council of Foreign Relations.

Hewko holds a law degree from Harvard University, a master’s in modern history from Oxford University (where he studied as a Marshall Scholar), and a bachelor’s in government and Soviet studies from Hamilton College in New York.
