In this episode, Jessie McCracken and Sherri Beauchamp talk to Dr. Terry Pawluski about how Angel Flights Alberta came about and why he's involved, how COVID has impacted his practice personally and why it's so important for him to be involved with his community. Angel Flight Alberta is an organization of volunteer pilots, aircraft owners and ground support. They are unified to help Albertans get to and from their medical appointments efficiently, reducing stress, and at NO COST to the patient or family. Medical appointments are already stressful without worrying about travel, time off work, family logistics, and most common; expenses. By transporting patients to and from their appointments, often the same day, they enable patients to receive vital non-emergent medical care, that might otherwise be inaccessible due to financial, geographic, or medical limitations.
