You alleviated all of my concernsI just wanted to thank you for making all the arrangements for my mom to come home to me today. I truly appreciate how professional you were in dealing with this. You alleviated all of my concerns, and brought my mom home safely. The team on the flight was fantastic, as were the paramedics who transported her. I will never forget this experience, and am truly grateful to you for making this as simple as possible for me.

I was amazed at how smoothly it wentMy husband had a heart attack while we were vacationing. At the hospital they told us he needed by-pass surgery. We wanted to have it done closer to home. Medway worked with the hospital’s discharge staff, arranged for the ambulance to meet us on arrival and got him pre-admitted for surgery. I was amazed at how smoothly it went. Thanks Medway!

Thankful that your Guardian Angels were thereI want to thank the team from Medway Air Ambulance who airlifted me from San Jose, Costa Rica to Yale New Haven Hospital last week. I had fractured my pelvis in an ATV accident. The medical team of Donna (paramedic) and Steve (RN) were wonderful. I was sorry I had to use the care but I am thankful that your Guardian Angels were there. No one should be without this vital assistance in a time of need. I plan to spread the word. I thank you again. Also, if possible, could you give Donna and Steve my thanks as well. I should make a full recovery and look forward to a good 2012; and I wish you a Happy New Year.
