Support Our Mission

You can't get there from here... but LifeFlight can
Maine is a big place, with lots of people far away from critical emergency care. With its nimble helicopters, fast airplane and dedicated ground ambulances, LifeFlight can reach people in need, making Maine feel a little smaller.

Maine Remote Emergency Access Project
In an effort to improve response time for scene calls involving remote snowmobile, ATV and recreational accidents, LifeFlight has teamed up with state and local agencies and clubs to establish landing zones along Maine’s extensive recreational trail system.
Hands-On Training for Emergency Medicine
With help from generous grant funding, LifeFlight presents a series of one-day conferences across the state called Pediatric Patients on the Edge. Through state-of-the-art simulation, rural EMS and emergency medicine providers have an opportunity to practice rarely used but critical pediatric skills in a safe, hands-on environment.

LifeFlight Provides Critical Care Transport Throughout Maine

LifeFlight’s vision for Maine is a place in which every person, in every community, has access to critical care and medical transport when they need it.

We do this by working with our EMS partners to transform the critical care transport medicine system into an integrated, high quality, patient-centered system worthy of the public’s trust.

We work with our parent organizations, Central Maine Healthcare and Eastern Maine Healthcare, and our aviation operator, SevenBar Aviation, to achieve this mission and maintain a strong commitment to safety.

After a record-setting Islesboro Crossing, LifeFlight is $500,000 closer to purchasing next generation helicopters for the people of Maine

In its sixth year, the Islesboro Crossing for LifeFlight, a 3-mile swim from Northport to Islesboro, filled to its maximum capacity of 150 swimmers just a few days after registration opened in February. Joined by an additional 150 paddling escorts and dozens of volunteers, this group of enthusiastic LifeFlight supporters and open water swimmers raised more than $500,000 to help purchase next generation helicopters for the people of Maine.

LifeFlight marks one year at Sanford Seacoast Regional Airport

To answer the growing number of calls for help in Maine, LifeFlighted purchased a third helicopter and opened a third base of operations last year. With a helicopter and critical care team permanently stationed in Sanford 24-hours-a-day, LifeFlight has been able to help more and more patients who need a higher level of emergency care.
