Stories from Grateful Patients: Susan

Woman with multiple conditions after receiving care, thanks to volunteer pilots

In Her Own Words...

"My name is Susan. I live in a rural area of Tennessee. I have multiple mental health conditions such as anxiety and a trauma disorder, and also deal with women's health issues."


"Doctors recommended that I seek care and opinions outside my local town. However, I don't have family or friends near who could drive me. My anxiety and trauma make it impossible for me to drive long distances. I didn't know how I was going to be able to see these faraway doctors and improve my quality of life."


"Mercy Medical Angels' volunteer pilot program helped me. They flew me to distant care, and I didn't have to pay a cent. The volunteer pilots, the staff, and everyone else at Mercy Medical Angels are lovely, kind, and amazing people. I am very grateful!"
