Global Rescue

Real Operation Example! A member had an accident at a ski resort which resulted in a broken pelvis and fractured tailbone. After surgery was completed abroad, the member wanted to recover in the hospital of choice, closer to their home. Global Rescue organized and paid for his flight back home (which he needed to be laying flat for) and also sent two medical escorts from our team. Flights like these are not cheap, don't get stuck with a hefty bill and be forced to figure it out on your own. These transportation expenses did not come out of our member's pockets. Global Rescue has your back.
