About Mercy Medical Angels

Getting Patients to Care. No Matter the Distance.

For over 54 years, we’ve been removing the biggest barrier between patients and life-saving care: the journey. Whether by air or ground, we make sure cost and distance never stand in the way of treatment

Our Mission

Removing the barrier to medical care with transportation on the ground and in the air.

Our Vision

To ensure that no one is ever denied medical care because they don’t have transportation.

Our Corporate Partners

A few compassionate pilots. One bold promise. 50+ years of getting patients to care.

What started as a single flight has grown into a national network connecting patients to treatment by air, ground and rail—with a perfect safety record and top ratings from Charity Navigator.

From Children to Veterans, Every Journey Matters.

We are just so thankful for Mercy Medical Angels and American Airlines. Without this program, I wouldn't be able to get life-saving medical treatment. You are changing so many lives and helping so many people.

Christopher

Oligodendroglioma (rare brain cancer)

The gift that made it possible:

A $150 donation helped this father travel to his specialist.

I have been unable to work for one whole year now. I receive SSDI, but after paying bills there's no money left. They sent me a gas card which helped me in so many ways. I would not have been able to get to these necessary medical appointments.

Norma

Aortic aneurysm, coronary blockage

The gift that made it possible:

A $40 gift provided ground transportation for this grandmother's treatment.

I was born with a rare heart condition. As my life went on, my health got progressively worse. My heart wasn't the only part shutting down. Other organs, such as my lungs, were quickly declining. I would need multiple organ transplants to save and change my life. I enjoyed my travel experience because everyone was so kind and helpful. I love Mercy Medical Angels - keep doing what you're doing!

Ingrid

Multiple organ transplants needed

The gift that made it possible:

A $250 gift transported this patient and caregiver together.
