Angel Flight America vision and mission
We are about people directly helping people in need
Angel Flight exists to arrange free long distance access, ultimately removing the financial burden of transportation as an obstacle in receiving specialized medical evaluation, diagnosis or treatment for any independently mobile child or adult.
Services
Free Flights
Angel Flight offers hope and help for ambulatory patients during a time of crisis by providing free transportation to life-sustaining treatment at distant medical facilities. There is absolutely no charge to the patient.
On-call Transplant service
When potential transplant recipients receive last-minute notice that an organ is available for them, our on-call pilots are ready to fly patients at any time of day or night, delivering them within hours to distant medical facilities.
(This service may not be available in all regions. Check with your region.)
Companion Transport
To ensure each patient's well-being, we also provide transportation for a support person accompanying the patient, usually a family member or friend.
Precious Cargo Transport
Angel Flight also transports precious cargo such as organs, blood, tissue and medical supplies. We flew many such missions in the days following the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C.
Many Groups, One Goal
Angel Flight America is made up of grassroots groups, regional boards of directors, staff members, patients and other passengers, pilots and ground-based volunteers and donors.
