For the past week, our hearts have been with our colleagues at REACH Air Medical Services following the crash of one of their helicopters last Wednesday, which resulted in the loss of two skilled and cherished members of their team and the patient they were transporting. We are thinking of their families, friends and colleagues, as well as the crew member who was seriously injured, and wishing them continued strength and recovery.
We are also holding close our Canadian colleagues at Latitude Air Ambulance and the families of the four crew and two passengers lost in this weekend’s crash off Nantucket.
While there is no single right way or right time to show support in moments like these, for us, standing with REACH — or with any member of our community facing a tragedy like this — is about so much more than a photo or public gesture. It’s about the connection, care and support that begins behind the scenes from the moment we hear the news. When one of us is hurting, our whole community feels it.
To the entire REACH team, your colleagues at Boston MedFlight are thinking of you, grieving with you and standing beside you.
