We were delighted to fulfill a Grant request to Mercy Flight Central in Canandaigua, NY. They perform extraordinary work transporting patients with life threatening injuries from car accidents and other dire situations over to large hospitals.  They also transport patients from small hospitals to large tertiary care center hospitals. The equipment on these helicopters is state of the art and allows them to intubate, transfuse blood, monitor vitals, etc.  Our funds will be used to help MFC create an all-inclusive simulation lab that would house both an AW119 interior and hospital room simulation suites. To create this setup, they would convert a 22’ cargo trailer into a new mobile simulation lab.
