Stories from Grateful Patients: Melanie

In Her Own Words...
"I had abdominal surgery in July 2023, and it went wrong. That led to chronic pain. I would need injections to manage it, but the doctors in my South Carolina hometown couldn't help me. I'd have to fly to Cleveland Clinic in Ohio if I wanted answers and relief."
"The flights were becoming a financial burden. My insurance company assigned me a caseworker, who sent me resources for charitable transportation. Mercy Medical Angels was one of those resources. I contacted Mercy Medical Angels and they were able to help me. They arranged and paid for my ticket on Southwest."
"My flights were great. After more than a year of suffering from chronic pain, Mercy Medical Angels made it possible for me to find answers and relief at Cleveland Clinic. Because of them, my quality of life has improved."
