Peter VandenBosch and a group of pilots met in Holland, Michigan to organize a service named Wings of Mercy to offer flights at no cost to financially needy persons from that area who required specialized medical treatment at distant medical centers. Immediately it became clear that the need was far greater than expected. Based upon their experience, upward of 80% of their clients would not be able to go for specialized treatment if this kind of service was not available. All services are performed by volunteer pilots. Wings of Mercy is funded entirely by charitable contributions.
