Severely injured accident victims need urgent medical care. Prompt transportation to a trauma center is critical, but the nearest is 40 miles away... To top it off, rush-hour traffic clogs roads and highways.

The solution? A medical evacuation flight.

Medevac flights provide rapid transportation and advanced medical care for critically injured and ill patients in life-threatening situations. Crews include highly experienced pilots, flight nurses, and paramedics trained to handle virtually any medical emergency and to conduct rescues in difficult scenarios.

The swift availability of a medevac saves lives.

Volunteer Patient Transport

Cancer and burn patients need long-term care. In many cases, that means highly specialized or experimental care available only at major urban medical centers. However, such patients often cannot reach the care they need because the airlines don’t serve their communities, or they just can’t afford the transportation costs.

General Aviation (GA) pilots, working through dozens of charitable organizations, volunteer their time, money, and airplanes to fly these patients and families between their homes and the medical facilities. Other volunteers provide ground transportation at each end.

Volunteer Organ Transport

At any given time, thousands of patients wait for organ transplants. Many of these organs are far from the recipient.

GA pilot-volunteers fly these gifts of life to patients in need. They also fly critical blood products, anti-venoms, and medicines to hospitals and medical centers throughout the United States.

Flying Doctors

Many outlying and rural communities lack routine access to specialized health care. As a result, many doctors and nurses in the United States and across the world fly to these towns and communities. Once onsite, they provide medical exams, inoculations, and training to local practitioners. These flying doctors often use GA to improve the lives of others.
