In 2024, donors invested in the health, safety, and wellness of our team, because taking good care of the people who care for Maine needs to be at the forefront of our work.

Each LifeFlight team needs to be as ready as possible for every situation — from transporting Maine’s tiniest newborns to octogenarians, triaging patients from accident scenes to taking over care in an emergency room.
