About This Grant:
Patient AirLift Services (PALS) provides free air transportation for individuals needing out-of-town or out-of-state medical care. Serving veterans, their families, and underserved populations across the eastern U.S., PALS addresses transportation needs in Maine’s rural communities, where one-third of its flights are based. This project will provide free flights for Maine cancer patients requiring long-distance travel to treatment facilities. Funds will support flight coordination, outreach, and engagement of volunteer pilots and partners, reducing transportation barriers for cancer patients in Maine.
