RHV 37: Flying PPE

June 11, 2020

How do medical supplies get to remote rural communities during a pandemic?  They fly!  Jess Ames, Outreach and Events Director, for Angel Flight East joined me to discuss a unique delivery method.

Angel Flight East (AFE) Transporting PPE to Areas in Need

Angel Flight East has recently partnered with several groups to provide face shields and hand sanitizer to health facilities (please see details below). Last week, AFE pilots flew 3,600 pounds of sanitizer and 3,500 face shields to 8 different rural healthcare facilities. If this is something your organization could benefit from, AFE is happy to provide transportation for these supplies.
