If you have financially needy patients who require tertiary health care, the University of Michigan Health System and AirLifeLine are teaming up to help them by offering free flights to Ann Arbor. AirLifeLine is a national organization of private pilots who donate their time and fuel to fly needy patients to medical centers. The U-M and William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak are the two institutions in the state teaming up with AirLifeLine. Patients must live between 125 and 1,000 miles from the U-M or Beaumont to qualify for the program. Pilots will transport ambulatory patients in need of life-sustaining treatments, and their family members, to the institutions at no cost.
Pilots are available day or night to transport patients.
They are supported solely by donations. This information is not a tool for self-diagnosis or a substitute for professional care.
