Thru-out the entire Israel, all cars, busses, trains and airplanes were stopped for 24 hours in respect of the holiest day on the Jewish Calendar, Yom Kippur.

The only non-military aircraft in the skies over Israel were our Hatzolah Air/MDA Medevac Helicopters.

Never forget.

HONG KONG to CHICAGO

An American family in Hong Kong received devastating news: their 6 month old infant on life-support needed a heart transplant. Complicating an already challenging mission was the baby needed to fly close to 20 hours while on an LVAD.

Our Gulfstream G550 departed New York with a specialized medical team, continued through Anchorage to Hong Kong, and flew the critically ill baby safely to Chicago for the lifesaving care she urgently needed.

This mission demanded extraordinary coordination, precision and teamwork at every stage culminating in a safe arrival in Chicago and likely setting a world record.

More than 100 volunteers and professionals including 4 pilots, 5 doctors, nurses, dispatchers, logistics teams and ground crews came together for one child they had never met.

One mission. One Team. No barriers.

We have earned a reputation at Hatzolah Air that we Mission Ready. Always. We never would have believed that a mission would take us all the way to Hong Kong. # PediatricCriticalCare

This aircraft was scheduled to transport a patient from FLL to ISP (Long Island, NY) with a full ALS Team.

The flight plan was released, the Advanced Life Support Team had traveled via commercial airline from NY into Florida and were ready in position, the pilots all briefed and the plane stocked and ready to go.

Then the call came in.

Our patient’s condition had rapidly deteriorated and she was rushed to the ICU and would be unable to be released from the local community hospital for the flight.

With a smile, our incredible Hatzolah Air volunteers coordinated with our flight logistics team and rebooked themselves back to NY without even seeing the patient, ready to return when asked.

In our line of work, the only thing predictable is that details are never predictable.

Thank you Hatzolah Air Mitzvah Team!!

Hiding on this ramp is a plane that criss-crosses the globe, changing lives one patient at a time.

To most people, it is simply another aircraft among many. But when the call comes, this Mitzvah Machine becomes an airborne ICU, a bridge between a critically ill patient and the care they desperately need and a source of hope for an entire family.

Behind every mission are our mechanics and pilots, medical professionals, dispatchers, volunteers and supporters like you working around the clock, across borders and time zones, with one shared purpose: to answer the call and bring someone the flight of their life.

That plane is Hatzolah Air. While the flights are often free, the mission is always priceless.

And while some may not be able to understand how 400+ volunteers will drop everything to help someone they never met, FOR FREE, we remain focused on what truly matters: saving lives and helping those who need us.

Wherever the patient. Whatever the distance. Whenever we are needed. Hatzolah Air is there.

One moment of summer fun became a family’s worst nightmare in an instant. Sadly, drowning emergencies are among the most heartbreaking calls our crews respond to—and they happen far too often.

Our teams never rest. Day and night, we stand ready to answer the call, hoping every mission ends with a miracle.

Earlier today, emergency responders were dispatched to a drowning involving a young child near Beit Shemesh. The child was found unconscious, without a pulse, and not breathing. Advanced resuscitation efforts were immediately initiated at the scene.

While lifesaving treatment continued, our MDA / Hatzolah Air helicopter rapidly airlifted the child in critical condition to Hadassah Medical Center, where teams continue to fight for the child’s life.

Please keep this precious child, the dedicated medical teams caring for him, and his entire family in your thoughts and prayers.

May G-d send this child a complete and speedy recovery.

Hatzolah Air flies its first-ever ECMO Transport Team.

After suffering an acute STEMI while aboard a cruise ship near Alaska, a patient from Texas was still in critical condition after being flown by helicopter to a local ICU in Anchorage.

Hatzolah Air Response Team was urgently requested to fly to Houston to pick up a team of 8 doctors, nurses and Perfusionists who flew with ECMO machines to Anchorage to fly the patient back to Houston for specialized advanced medical care.

This mission represents far more than miles traveled. It reflects the dedication of our physicians, nurses, logistics teams, flight crews, and volunteers who work tirelessly to ensure patients can access the highest level of care wherever in the world they may be.

A milestone moment for our organization. A life defining moment for one very lucky patient.

Together with the University of Texas exceptional Medical Teams and the fabulous coordination by Million Air the Hatzolah Air Mission was executed flawlessly.

UT+MillionAir+Hatzolah Air =OneTeamOneMission.

This is likely the fastest Air Ambulance in the world.

Zooming thru the air at Mach .92 this flying ICU connects countries at almost the speed of sound.

Just another reason why Hatzalah Organizations, Medical Referral Professionals, Chabad Houses and others only trust Hatzolah Air crews to care for their patients.

At 3:12am our teams were called to fly emergently to North Carolina for a tragedy. In less than 90 minutes we were airborne.

The details are too painful to post. Please pray for this family. Together we are
