Corporate Angel Network Flies 60,000th Patient
CAN also appoints two high-profile members to board of directors.

Corporate Angel Network (CAN), an organization that provides business jet flights to cancer patients in need, recently announced the completion of its 60,000th flight. The patient, known as David J., needed to see a specialist at MD Anderson Hospital in Houston regarding cutting-edge treatment for aggressive salivary gland cancer. His only option was to make the 17-hour drive by car from his home in Columbus, Ohio—until he learned about CAN through an internet search.

He called the organization, which quickly expedited the patient-registration process. CAN then found an available seat on a scheduled corporate aircraft flight from Columbus to Houston by American Electric Power. AEP is just one of CAN's enrolled 500 corporate partners that have donated space on their company aircraft to help patients like David.
