Costa Rica Fall

“Four members of the flight crew walked into my hospital room with the American flag on the arm of their flight suits and said ‘Ms. Anna Frazelle, we’ve come to take you home.’ Words cannot describe how wonderful it was to see America in a foreign land. I felt like Air Ambulance Card was a part of my family.”

Broken in Brazil

“We were in a third-world country. You do not want to have that kind of surgery in those conditions, especially when you don’t speak the language. You need to be close to home, close to your doctors, not only for surgery, but for the recovery. I am forever grateful that there is a service like this out there. If I didn’t have it, I would still be [in Brazil] recovering.”
Barbara Leutwiler, Boulder, Colorado

The rest of the story:
Barbara slipped and broke her kneecap in her hotel in a remote rainforest. Within hours of her accident, Air Ambulance Card was finalizing arrangements to dispatch an air ambulance to Brazil to bring Leutwiler and her husband home for her surgery.  Read more...
