Focusing On a Good Experience

I do a lot of traveling. Spending many hours in airports. Recently I was in the Toronto airport on my way home after a long week of business travel. Going through customs as well as security typically takes hours (Nexus-here I come). This demands going to the airport extra early in case there are any hiccups. After clearing customs and security, I had quite a few hours before my flight. Hungry and tired, I walked up and down the terminal looking for something to eat. Typical airport food again. Walking [...]

The Story of AirCARE1’s CFO

By Denise Waye|2023-09-25T13:28:28+00:00September 8th, 2013|Categories: Company News|

I first met Jack during some of his darkest days. Jack was CFO for a fortune 50 company and had been recently diagnosed with cancer of the spine. My job as a flight nurse was to transport him safely to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston for surgery and further treatment. To say the family was devastated by this recent diagnosis was an understatement. His life had been turned upside down. Jack presented to me in significant pain, his wife, was accompanying him on the emergency flight and was worried about [...]

The time it takes to access medical attention from the time an incident takes place, or the symptoms of an illness start can be critical in determining whether the person recovers or not.
