ASTNA Bereavement
Fund - Donate Online |
The Bereavement Fund was established
in 1999 to remember colleagues who have given their lives in
the line of duty. In the event that crew members are killed
in a transport crash, ASTNA generally contributes $250 to the
estate of each crew member that perished. |

In light of recent events; including the mid air collision in Arizona, the
ASTNA leadership group would like to offer our sincere condolences to
everyone that has been touched by the incidents that have befallen all of
us involved in medical transport.
I am dumbstruck by the totality of the events of the past few weeks. In a
years span we have lost >30 individuals. All the work, emotion and
rhetoric we've engaged in as a community over the past years brings us
back to the same place more often than we'd like.
Moving forward; rest assured we will do one thing consistently; we as a
leadership group will remain engaged in finding a solution to the
challenges we all face. We will have a voice, we will have a place at
the table, and we will speak up. We are committed to finding solutions to
this issue and are open to using any and all resources available to enhance
the safety margin.
As a group we have chosen not to take specific positions on many of the
aviation "fixes" offered by many. We've done so in the spirit of
remaining within our area of expertise; transport nursing.
There are upcoming events, meetings and potential actions that will
require our attention and thoughtfulness; please know we will be there, be
engaged and working to make transport nursing safer.
