From the CEO
Doug Stewart – CEO
“Preparing our people and our organization for the ever-changing future of health care is our ongoing commitment. Mercy Flights will always be on the forefront of patient-centered care. Providing compassionate and caring customer service along with excellent medical treatment and transport at a reasonable cost will always be the number one mission for Mercy Flights.”
Ben’s Story

Why would we pay a membership fee for a service we would never use? We learned the hard way that life can veer strangely off course when you least expect it.
