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 is the only institution in the state teaming up with AirLifeLine. Patients must live between 150 and 600 miles from the U-M to qualify for the program.
Pilots are available day or night to transport patients.
They also will transport human organs and time-critical medical cargo. 850 pilots have flown more than 10,000 medical missions. They are supported solely by donations.
