Save Our Air Medical Resources (SOAR): Lifesaving Care for Rural America

At SOAR, we’re on a mission to ensure emergency air medical services remain accessible to every American—especially in rural communities where healthcare gaps can mean the difference between life and death.

Why SOAR Matters:
  • Preserving Access: We work to protect air ambulance bases, ensuring lifesaving emergency care is available for rural seniors, Veterans, mothers, and families.
  • Filling Critical Gaps: As hospital closures continue to impact rural healthcare, air ambulances are often the only link to advanced medical care.
  • Advocating for Change: Medicare’s outdated reimbursement rates threaten these vital services. We’re pushing Congress to pass the Protecting Air Ambulance Services for Americans Act, safeguarding access for millions.
Making a Difference:
  • Educating and Advocating: SOAR raises awareness about the vital role of air medical services and the urgent need for updated policies.
  • Stopping Harmful Cuts: Our efforts stopped reductions in VA reimbursement rates, keeping air ambulance bases operational through 2029.
  • Empowering Communities: SOAR’s campaigns have inspired over 15,000 messages to Congress, amplifying the voices of those who rely on emergency air care.
Success Stories:
  • No Surprises Act: With bipartisan support, SOAR championed this groundbreaking law in 2020, ensuring patients are protected from surprise medical bills.
  • Focused Advocacy: By uniting with government officials, third-party allies, and congressional champions, SOAR is leading the charge for sustainable Medicare reimbursements and access to care.

Together, we’re fighting to keep emergency air medical services soaring—bridging the healthcare divide for rural communities.
