LifeFlightMaine.org 207.230.7092 From Maine, Across Maine, For Maine LifeFlight of Maine is the state's only emergency air ambulance service. Its three helicopters, airplane, and spe- cialty ground vehicles are equipped as fully functioning mobile intensive care units, bringing advanced skills, medical technology, pharmacy, blood, and more directly to a patient's side. Over the past 24 years, LifeFlight has safely cared for 35,000 patients of all ages—from premature infants and crit- ically injured children, to adults and seniors who need specialty care. The calls for help come from all points in Maine—from mountains, lakes, and coastal islands; from highways, trails, and main streets; and most frequently, from rural hospitals across the state. For LifeFlight patients, every minute matters. Their chances of survival and quality of life after a traumatic event depend on LifeFlight's ability to safely traverse Maine's vast expanse, rugged terrain, and challenging weather. And just as patients depend on us, LifeFlight depends on the generous support of individuals, civic groups, municipalities, foundations, and cor- porate partners to ensure that we can continue to serve Maine for decades to come. We make second chances possible. We're in this together, Maine. In 2023 LifeFlight of Maine will celebrate 25 years of safely transporting patients.
