| Dr. Teiger pilots Angel Flight | | NEIHA principle and pilot transports patient to rehab center in North Carolina in July
 | | Dr. Michael Teiger, M.D. |
Dr. Michael B. Teiger, M.D., principle of New England Integrative Health Associates and a licensed pilot, volunteered his time and expertise in August to transport a patient from Mt. Sinai Rehabilitation Hospital, a Saint Francis Care Provider, to a rehabilitation center in Cary, North Carolina, as part of the Angel Flight Program.
The patient from North Carolina had been staying with family in the Hartford area when she suffered an Aneurysmal Cerebral Bleed and required hospitalization and rehabilitation. Due to stroke limitations, it was not possible for her to return home on a commercial carrier. That is when Angel Flight Program and Saint Francis Foundation teamed up to arrange for a private aircraft to provide a medically sound transit to her home state where she could continue her rehabilitation treatments.
Angel Flight Program is a charitable organization that connects pilots with patients in need of transportation. Along with a crew of St. Francis nurses, Dr. Teiger transported the patient to an airport in North Carolina where they were met by ambulance service and taken to a rehabilitation center.
Dr. Teiger, M.D., F.C.C.P., is the Medical Director of NEIHA Aviation Medicine Center, and is a private pilot, flight instructor and senior aviation medical examiner certified by the FAA. He has several years of experience working in aviation medicine and has established close working relationships in the aviation community. Dr. Teiger has completed seven Angel Flights in the United States.
