Mercy Flight Southeast

Mercy Flight Southeast is a non-profit organization based in Leesburg, Florida, with a staff of 7 employees. The organization is dedicated to providing free air transportation for individuals in need of specialized medical care. Mercy Flight Southeast arranges flights for both children and adults who require long-distance medical treatments and emergency organ transplants. They serve patients with chronic conditions and rare diseases who often need to travel repeatedly to healthcare facilities hundreds of miles away. The organization coordinates an average of 3,000 flights annually, covering a five-state region that includes Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina. What sets Mercy Flight Southeast apart is its reliance on a network of over 650 volunteer pilots who donate their aircraft, fuel, time, and expertise. These pilots pick up and drop off passengers at local airports, often closer than the nearest commercial airport, alleviating the burden of travel for families facing significant medical challenges.
