AirMedCare Network (AMCN) has pledged $100,000 to assist Homes For Our Troops (HFOT), a national nonprofit that builds and donates specially-adapted houses for severely injured post-9/11 veterans, the air ambulance membership network announced this week. It also will promote HFOT’s mission to its more than three million network members.
“Their outstanding and enthusiastic support will help raise awareness about our organization and advance our mission of building and donating specially adapted custom homes for deserving veterans,” HFOT executive director Bill Ivey said. “We are looking forward to working closely with them as we build homes and rebuild lives.”
AMCN membership v-p Keith Hovey said 11 percent of the network’s employees are former military, making “this a cause that is particularly close to our hearts. These homes restore some of the freedom and independence our veterans sacrificed while defending our country, and enable them to focus on their family, recovery, and rebuilding their lives. We look forward to working with them in this partnership.”
AMCN combines the membership programs of air ambulance operators Air Evac Lifeteam, Guardian Flight, Med-Trans Corp., and Reach Air Medical Services, which combined operate from more than 320 air medical bases in 38 states.
