Mercy Medical Angels virtual event to honor pilots, raise funds
Pilots who have helped provide free transportation for medical care to low-income children, adults, cancer patients, and veterans will be recognized May 22 during a Mercy Medical Angels Angel Wings and Wheels Virtual Celebration.
“For the past 49 years, Mercy Medical Angels has provided more than 250,000 patient trips using transportation on the ground with gas cards, bus and train tickets and in the air with commercial airlines and volunteer pilots,” according to the group. Transportation is also included for patients’ caregivers. In 2020, Mercy Medical Angels provided 24,520 trips for patients nationwide.
“Our goal is to raise funds to continue our mission of removing the barrier to medical care with transportation on the ground and in the air,” the group said.
The Angel Wings and Wheels Virtual Celebration will stream starting at 5 p.m. Eastern time. Register for the event on the Mercy Medical Angels website.
