Each year, we receive many cards and letters thanking our teams caring for those in need. We have removed information to protect our patients’ identities. Our thanks back to you for taking the time to recognize Mercy Flight Central and other agencies partnering in the care of critical patients.

“... I would like to express our sincere thanks for the excellent care and quick response you provided for him. We are all so fortunate to have such a wonderful organization as you in our area. Thank you for being there when we needed you. I will always be grateful.”

“Mercy Flight (Central) was dispatched to pick up my daughter in an accident on the NYS Thruway... It was a horrible, horrible crash and she wasn’t expected to live. She did. Though we have a long journey ahead, (she) has made enormous strides and is in acute rehab. She’s speaking and her physical state is coming along. All her doctors and nurses agree, however, that if it had not been for the quick thinking and care that took place during her rescue, she would not be here. We are beyond grateful to you and everyone involved in getting our daughter swiftly to Strong Memorial...”

“To everyone involved: Many thanks to everyone on my case for my serious injuries... You are all heroes in my eyes and the reason I’m here and doing so amazing today. Never forget how much you are appreciated and touching/changing lives every day. I’m sure you don’t hear it enough but thank you for the help you give. Keep up the amazing work.”

“Dear Friends at Mercy Flight (Central), There aren’t words to express our gratitude for the care you gave our son after an injury to head and face from a wood splitter. You transported him to Strong. All of you were wonderful to my husband and I and our son. (Our son) named his bear “Heart”. We were blessed to have people like you, with excellent skills and a loving nature to care for our son. We will never forget your service and pray for you regularly. Our deepest regard and gratitude.”

“To whom it may concern: We would like to express our sincere thank you for your quick response to our emergency call. A big thank you also to your caring and professional staff. We will be forever grateful. My wife is home recovering now and doing well...even looking forward to horseback riding again... just not that particular horse.”

“Dear Mercy Flight (Central), Just wanted to thank you for taking care of my husband when he had his accident with his lawn mower. He had a cracked vertebrae, but is doing better -- still hard to get out of his chair somewhat. Again, thanks for a smooth flight.”

“Thank you so much for taking care of our grandson... Thank you, all of you, for the job you do so well.”

“I want to thank you all for taking such good care of me. I thank each of you for your expertise in care and also in piloting the helicopter. That was my first ride in a helicopter and here’s hoping it’s my last, that way. I am walking but very, very sore. Have a lot of bruises to deal with, but I can handle that. Thank you very much for the wonderful care.”

“...My compliments to everyone who took such good care of me! I hope someone will let this crew know how much they are appreciated.”

“Dear Mercy Flight (Central): My family and I would like to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts... Everyone tells me you all did an awesome job taking care of me and kept me alive til I got to the hospital. Can never thank you enough - you have a tough job and so great at it. You help so many people. Keep up the great job. So appreciated!!! Sorry if I was a tuff patient. Can not remember what happened, but my friends have filled me in. I am healing slowly but surely. Hope everything heals good. I am very blessed. Thank you again.”
