    Air Travel For Out-of-State Medical Care

The following list of organizations are run and staffed by private pilots. The pilots donate their airplanes, time and fuel to take people for out of state medical care when the treatment is not available locally. You must meet the criteria of financial difficulty that prevents you from paying for transportation. You must check with each individual organization regarding their specific criteria. They will usually take one or two family members as well.

The most extensive listing available for these charitable aviators for both the United States and Canada is the Air Care Alliance. It provides an alphabetical listing of all of the groups.
