Volunteer Pilots fly patients to critical medical care to receive life saving treatment.
In Our Pilot's Words
Mercy Medical Angels fills a need most people don’t know about — the need for long-distance travel to medical care. Millions of our fellow Americans need medical care that is far from home. They lack the financial means to travel to distant clinical care for treatment. Their health and even their lives, depend on overcoming these challenges.
Our ability to continue to serve patients in need is only possible through generous support from individuals, foundations, corporations and institutions.
