2025 Impact Report
Dear Friends,
Because of you, when the call comes, we are ready.
In 2025, Life Flight of Maine continued to stand for something simple and powerful: reliability. Across mountains, islands, rural roads, and city streets, our aircraft and ground teams launched day and night to ensure that no patient was out of reach. Your generosity fueled that reliability. It kept aircraft mission ready, supported advanced equipment, and sustained the infrastructure required to respond when it mattered most.
Safety remains at the heart of everything we do. In aviation and critical care transport, safety is not a single decision, it is a culture. It is the training we repeat, the protocols we refine, the maintenance we prioritize, and the investments we make long before an emergency arises. Because of you, we were able to uphold the highest standards in clinical care and aviation safety, protecting both the patients we serve and the crews who serve them. It is our job to make sure that every crew member gets home safely at the end of every shift. After a challenging year in aviation safety, we can never take that premise for granted.
Ensuring access to care is the promise behind every mission. Maine’s geography is beautiful, but it can also be isolating in a medical crisis. LifeFlight bridges that distance. Whether transporting a premature infant, a trauma patient, or someone experiencing a cardiac emergency, we connect communities to the specialized care they need, when they need it most. Your support ensures that access to critical care is not determined by your zip code.
Powering each transport is a team of skilled pilots, mechanics, clinicians, communication specialists, and support staff. In a time when healthcare and aviation industries nationwide face workforce shortages, your investment allows us to recruit, retain, and sustain exceptional professionals who are committed to this mission. Their expertise, compassion, and readiness define LifeFlight.
This report is about much more than statistics and milestones. It reflects lives touched, families supported, partners trained, and communities strengthened. It reflects your belief that when emergencies happen, Maine deserves a system that is dependable, safe, and staffed by the very best. After all, it could be a member of your family who needs us.
On behalf of the LifeFlight Foundation, LifeFlight of Maine, and the patients we serve, thank you for making this work possible. Your partnership ensures that we are there for Maine – today, tomorrow, and for the challenges that lie ahead.
With gratitude,
Joe Kellner, CEO
LifeFlight of Maine
Kate O’Halloran, Executive Director
