Need a Lift? Traveling for Cancer Treatment

The National Patient Travel Helpline provides information about all forms of charitable, long-distance medical air transportation and provides referrals to all appropriate sources of help available in the national charitable medical air transportation network. Its goal is to ensure that no financially-needy patient is denied access to distant specialized medical evaluation, diagnosis or treatment for lack of a means of long-distance medical air transportation.


To find out more, contact the National Patient Travel HELPLINE Program, in operation since 1991. After an initial screening of patient need and determination of a suitable means of travel, callers are referred to the most appropriate charitable medical air transportation program that can best meet their needs. This is a referral service and there is no cost for the information. This HELPLINE is available 24/7 at 1-800-296-1217.


Plus, this is a great place to donate your frequent-flyer miles to!
