25 years of patient-centered care
At Boston MedFlight we have transported 43,000 patients since our
formation in 1985, and as our team members will testify, no two
transports are the same: each presents unique logistical and clinical
challenges. We are always delighted to speak with patients and their
families after the transport is complete. Although our care for patients
