Requirements For Service
The requirements for patients for flights and for the volunteer pilots who might provide them vary considerably from group to group. Patients typically must demonstrate financial or other compelling need. Generally they must also be ambulatory. Often a physician's signoff is required, along with that of a social worker at a medical facility attesting to financial need. There are also two groups who do fly non-ambulatory (stretcher) patients, and one group has a fully certified charitable air ambulance.
