Medtronic recently flew our pediatric patient to treatment. Hear about their experience.

Bringing Cancer Patients Closer to Their Cure

Corporate Angel Network (CAN) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that helps cancer patients access the best treatment centers in the United States by arranging free travel on corporate aircraft. Whether a patient is traveling for surgery, clinical trial, or a second opinion, CAN aims to reduce a patient’s physical, emotional and financial stress by providing a seat on a corporate flight.

Participation is open to all cancer patients, as well as bone marrow and stem cell donors and recipients, who are ambulatory and do not require medical assistance while traveling. Eligibility is not based on financial need, and patients may travel as often as necessary.

This experience is especially valuable ln my world of complete uncertainty. I can truly say that CAN gave me an incredible experience and eased some of my physical and emotional pain.

The Corporate Angel Network makes it very easy to support a vital humanitarian mission. I encourage any company to consider joining this very worthwhile effort.

Thank you for putting a treatment that was hundreds of miles away ‘right in our backyard’.

– Caregiver, Jupiter, FL

Every time there has been a patient on a flight I'm on, it's been exciting and fun to talk to them. Last year, I had a little boy on board who was a fantastic fellow.

The comfort I had as a parent knowing that my child could fly in a clean environment, when her immune system was suppressed from treatment, was priceless.

It’s wonderful that organizations like the Corporate Angel Network are able to help connect those in need of flights to those who are flying. I am pleased and humbled to be a part of any such flight.

They've turned his whole life around; Corporate Angel Network is really a partner in my son's rehabilitation.
