In Partnership With American Airlines

Global Stories: Hope in Flight

Thanks to American Airlines and their Miles for Global Health & Well-Being program, Mercy Medical Angels helps patients reach life-saving care.

Lives Changed. Miles That Matter.

When Distance Is the Biggest Barrier, Flight Becomes Hope

When rare and complex diagnoses put life-saving care far from home, three patients found hope through Mercy Medical Angels. From blood cancer to achalasia to rare cancer treatment, charitable flights made transportation to medical care possible when distance and cost stood in the way.
