    Angel Flight Northeast is a non-profit organization that coordinates free air transportation to patients and their families requiring medical treatment outside of their geographic area, whose financial resources would not otherwise enable them to receive the care they need. More than 40% of Angel Flight NE's patients are children. Since its founding in 1996, the organization has scheduled more than 100,000 flights for patients who have flown over 14 million miles. This is made possible with the support of their 500+ volunteer general aviation pilots and commercial aviation partners. For further information, call 800-549-9980, or visit their website at www.angelflightne.org.
