MedEvac Foundation International Receives $40K Pledge From Aerolite

Money To Be Used For Continuing Research Into Medical Aircraft Safety

Aerolite Max Bucher AG and its U.S. subsidiary, Aerolite America LLC, have presented a $40,000 donation to MedEvac Foundation International, as part of the companies’ dual commitment to advancing air-medical safety worldwide through national and international research and education projects and globally focused air-medical-transport-related charity endeavors.

“As a leading independent designer and manufacturer of helicopter and fixed wing aircraft interior solutions, Aerolite’s overriding goal is to ensure that all aspects of air-medical transport – including clinical functionality, ergonomics and configuration of the transport medicine cabin – are as safe for patients and crews as possible,” said Aerolite CEO and President Max Bucher. “And one way of achieving that goal is by integrating relevant research and education findings into the final interior design. That is one reason why we are happy to lend our financial support to MedEvac Foundation International in its quest to enhance the safety and quality of air-medical transport through timely, integrated and solution-focused education and research grant initiatives.”

With locations in Switzerland and a subsidiary in the United States, Aerolite is known worldwide for its safe, superiorly designed medical helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft interiors and advanced medical system and equipment integrations.

“We would like to thank Aerolite Max Bucher AG and Aerolite America LLC for their generous donation, which was made during a recent international conference planning session held in Grindelwald, Switzerland,” said MedEvac Foundation International Chair Kevin Hutton, MD. FACEP. “This funding helps support the mission and vision of the Foundation, which is to empower people and organizations to make a difference in medical transport across the globe, and to advance global medical transport through research, education, outreach and charitable services.”

Aerolite’s $40,000 donation will help with implementing the MedEvac Foundation’s 2010 research and education grants, which include the study of fatigue in medical helicopter crew members, crisis resources in medical transport, building an online air-medical transport curriculum, and appropriate utilization in response to medevac helicopter trauma-scene requests. I will also benefit The Family Grant Fund, which provides financial assistance to families following a fatal air-medical crash, and The Children’s Scholarship Fund, which supports higher education for children who have lost a parent or guardian as a result of an air-medical accident.
