🎄Spreading a little holiday cheer around our communities🎄

This week, we had the opportunity to visit some of our local 911 dispatch centers, law enforcement agencies, and hospitals to deliver custom Christmas cookies as a small thank-you for all they do.

We’re incredibly grateful to the teams who trust Saints Flight when their community members need critical care. Your calls, coordination, and teamwork make a real difference every single day.

A huge thank-you to Flour Power for helping bring this idea to life — the cookies were a hit! 🍪🎄

Please help us welcome our new pilot, Ian! 🎉🚁

Ian comes to us from the sunny state of Florida ☀️ and got one heck of a welcome to the Midwest with subzero temperatures. He spent the day flying with lead pilot Marc, working on area familiarization around Decatur, Springfield, and St. Louis — and even got his first patient flight under his belt. We’re glad to have him joining the Saints Flight team! 💙
