Lifesaving Nonprofit Critical Care Transport by Air & Ground

Boston MedFlight

Boston MedFlight is a nonprofit organization providing the highest level of critical care transport by air and ground to patients in need—regardless of their circumstances. For more than 40 years, since our founding in 1985, we have set the standard for clinical excellence, safety, and compassion in the air medical industry. Our tagline, “Your Life. Our Mission.”, captures the purpose that drives everything we do. Whether responding to an emergency scene or transferring a critically ill patient between hospitals, our team delivers seamless, patient-centered care during some of the most challenging moments in a person’s life. As a nonprofit, we are guided by one unwavering principle: every patient deserves access to lifesaving care, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. Each year, Boston MedFlight provides more than $7 million in free and unreimbursed care, ensuring no patient is ever turned away. Our clinical teams are among the most highly trained and experienced in the world, caring for patients of all ages—from premature infants to older adults—across a wide range of conditions. These include adult and pediatric trauma, complex medical emergencies, cardiac and stroke events, high-risk obstetric and neonatal care, and specialized interfacility transfers. We achieve this excellence through rigorous training and preparedness. Every clinician completes an intensive onboarding and education program that includes hospital ICU and emergency department rotations, pediatric and neonatal critical care experience, high-fidelity simulation training, advanced procedural labs, and comprehensive classroom instruction in transport medicine. Our work is supported by a state-of-the-art fleet of Airbus H145 helicopters and Freightliner mobile ICU ground vehicles, each equipped with advanced technology comparable to leading hospital ICUs.

Tanya Donelly first emerged in the indie-rock landscape in the early 1980s, co-founding&nbsp;Throwing Muses&nbsp;(with stepsister Kristin Hersh), then later co-forming&nbsp;The Breeders, before leading her own band&nbsp;Belly&nbsp;in the 1990s. With&nbsp;Belly&nbsp;she had her biggest commercial breakthrough, notably with the single&nbsp;“Feed the Tree”, earning critical acclaim and a Grammy nomination.&nbsp;
After that success, Tanya embarked on a solo career marked by lyrical richness, melodic innovation, and a shifting musical palette that embraces folk, country, ambient, and indie pop textures. Her solo debut,&nbsp;Lovesongs for Underdogs&nbsp;(1997), established her distinct songwriting voice outside of her band projects.
This Hungry Life&nbsp;(originally released in 2006) is a live album recorded in a unique intimate setting — a closed hotel in Bellows Falls, Vermont — featuring largely new material, plus a few covers and re-imagined tracks. The album reflects maturity in both voice and subject matter: themes of home, family, identity, and the passage of time are woven through in her warm vocals and intimate performance style, with the live setting giving the songs immediacy and connection.&nbsp;
Marking the 20th anniversary of&nbsp;This Hungry Life&nbsp;offers a chance to revisit her work at this pivotal moment: affirming her legacy in indie rock; celebrating her evolution as an artist who has never stopped refining her craft; and presenting&nbsp;This Hungry Life&nbsp;not just as a document of a live show but as a milestone in her ongoing journey — both musically and personally.
The Guardian: “Recorded live in a disused Vermont hotel,&nbsp;Donelly’s vocal, full of personality, soars brightly over the audience and fills you with affection for hearth and for home.”&nbsp;The Guardian
