Lifeflight Foundation

The Lifeflight Foundation (LFF) supports Lifeflight of Maine (LOM) in the provision of emergent critical care medical services to patients needing specialized care throughout Maine and, under mutual aid, the other States of Northern New England. LOM provides services to critically ill and injured patients regardless of insurance coverage and ability to pay for the cost of medical care. LFF provides financial support for capital projects, such as: 1. Fleet acquisition and replacement parts; 2. Specialized medical equipment used on LOM helicopters, the airplane, and specialized ground vehicles; 3. Aviation infrastructure improvements such as hospital helipads, automated weather systems, runway cameras, and low-level instrument flight infrastructure; 4. Support for Lifeflight's education programs, such as the Critical Care Academy and high-fidelity medical simulation provided by LOM to physicians, physician extenders, nurses, paramedics, and emergency medical technicians throughout the state. 5. Temporary support (in most cases, up to three years) for new programs and positions. Additionally, the Foundation is responsible for all marketing and communication initiatives for both organizations.
