“We have an exceptional team of men and women who have dedicated themselves to the Boston MedFlight mission,” said Maura Hughes, CEO of Boston MedFlight. “We are proud of them for helping achieve this milestone. Each of these patients has been someone’s parent, sibling, child, relative or friend, and so the number of lives our work has touched is immeasurable. We look ahead to the future and remain focused on providing excellent, compassionate care to each individual patient.”
Boston MedFlight transports more than 4,600 patients annually, including the most critically ill and injured infants, children and adults – an average of more than twelve patients every day. As a nonprofit, the organization provides over $4 million in free and unreimbursed care to patients in need with little or no medical insurance.
During its 34-year history, Boston MedFlight has become an integral part of New England’s healthcare delivery system and a community resource for training of local healthcare professionals and first responders.
