Medford high school student Reece Peden tore the tendons in his shoulder last year during a football game. The Mercy Flights ambulance was called – the paramedics transported Reece from the high school field to the hospital. He received surgery to repair the damage to his shoulder and is doing well today.

“Reece is very athletic and involved in lots of sports,” says Viola Peden, Reece’s mother. “He’s a sophomore this year and he also wrestles and is on the baseball team. His younger brother plays football at the middle school.”

The Pedens purchased a family membership with Mercy Flights to cover the entire household. For just $70 annually, the Pedens are covered by Mercy Flights’ ground and air transportation service. This will save them significant money if any of them require emergency transportation, whether it’s at home, school, or work.
