VeteranBenefits Includes Angel Flight Transportation

January 4, 2008 By admin

One benefit that is valuable for Veterans to be aware of is the services of the Veterans Angel Flights. Angel Flights operates at no-cost or in some cases reduced rates for Veterans and dependents that need travel for medical reasons.? Patients who have to travel for surgery or medical care who need assistance can use the Veterans Angel Flight services to travel to distant facilities or medical centers to receive help.

The actual flights booked by Veterans Angel Flight are provided by volunteer pilots who donate their time, planes, and fuel to assist in the transportation effort.? The purpose and active mission of Veterans Angel Flight is to make sure that a financially needy Veteran or family member who needs health care is not denied access simply because of distance. A Veteran who needs diagnosis, treatment, evaluation, surgery, or rehabilitation at a distant facility can now access these services.

The Veterans Angel Flight services try to encourage patients to obtain transportation referrals via the nationally based Patient Travel Center.? Veterans Angel Flight is a not for profit organization, that exists to provide assistance to Veterans and their families needing travel help.? VAF is careful to be available where needed, and not to duplicate the efforts of other charities.? Patients who need travel help use the medical air transportation system in travel from distant medical facilities to their homes.? Many families and patients have to make more than one trip.

    I am in the process of relocating my husband back to our home state. He is currently on on oxygen 24/7 and has other health issues. He was an army veteran during the 1950’s. We live in Arizona right now and would like information on how to get him back to Pa. sometime in Sept. or Oct. Can you let me know of any options available for us. I would appreciate any information you could give as to cost, conditions etc. Thank you in advance for any thing you can do to make this happen for us. God bless Nancy Borkiewicz
