MedFlight Setting Up Base At Mansfield Airport

MANSFIELD, MA — Boston MedFlight is bringing a new base to Mansfield.

The non-profit recently announced that they will start operating out of the Mansfield Municipal Airport this March, with a focus of bringing more service to the South Coast, Cape Cod and Islands.

“We have seen increased demand for our services, and by opening this base we are continuing to
strive to better serve the most critically ill and injured patients in the region,” Maura Hughes, CEO of Boston MedFlight, said in a release. “The Mansfield base will facilitate faster response times, particularly in more diffuse areas such as the Cape, Islands, and South Coast, which will further improve patient care.”

Bob Welch, the manager of the Mansfield Municipal Airport, added, “We are proud to announce the arrival of Boston MedFlight to Mansfield Municipal Airport in March 2018. This arrival will provide a resource for emergency medical transportation to Mansfield as well as surrounding towns and communities. This new venture by Boston MedFlight is a positive to the community.”

Boston MedFlight provides helicopter services to those in need of a quick transport to a hospital or medical center. They also operate out of Bedford, Lawrence, and Plymouth.
