The need for a emergency medical facility in Ajo, AZ is not just personal to me—it's a community-wide issue, affecting all of us. With schools, families, and a large population of elderly residents, the absence of quick and accessible emergency care can lead to critical health situations escalating rapidly. Our closest emergency room is over a hour and a half away, the furthest distance in all the lower 48 states (247wallst.com).

According to research, access to timely emergency medical assistance can greatly decrease the severity of medical conditions and even prevent fatalities. However, the chance of receiving such care drastically reduces in areas without such facilities (Rural Health Information Hub). Every resident of Ajo is at risk, and in any emergency situation, a difference of a few minutes can result in vastly different outcomes.

Our goal is to create a emergency medical facility with helicopter access.
