Mercy Flight Central
Posted by TAL on Jul 19, 2016
Our guest speaker for the July 19th meeting was Greg Eisenhut. Mr.Eisenhut is the fund raiser for Mercy Flight Cental which covers 18 counties in central NYS and about 4 million people.Greg spoke at length and showed slides as well on his program of Helicopter rescues and patient transport. Costs can go as high as $27,000 to transport a patient in an emergency and Mercy Flight Central needs additional funds to meet payroll for nurses, ALS trained assistants and pilots. The group currently keeps four planes ready at all times while meeting FFA standards of craft maintenance.
