Meet Mercy Flights Interim CEO Mike Burrill Jr.

We are excited to welcome long-time Mercy Flights Inc. champion Mike Burrill Jr. as our interim CEO. Mike Jr. is our former board chair of six years and has served on the MFI board for the past 12 years. He has been instrumental in helping upgrade our fleet of ambulances and aircraft. The Burrill family has a rich history of support for Mercy Flights. Mike’s grandfather (Eugene) served as an MFI board member in the 1950’s, helped build Mercy Flights’ first hangar, and flew medical missions. Mike’s father (Mike Sr.) was also a former board member and flew medical missions for MFI.

Ben’s Story

Until an unexpected illness occurred two years ago we believed, as we’re sure many do, that a Mercy Flights membership for a young and healthy family would never be needed. 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.
