Elevated Access

Elevated Access is a nonprofit organization in the United States. It was launched in 2022. The site says it arranges flights on private planes at no cost for passengers who need healthcare. It is a 501(c)(3) organization with a mailing address in Champaign, Illinois.

Volunteer pilots carry the passengers. The site says each pilot goes through a vetting process to confirm they match the mission. Partner organizations refer people who need support. Staff then arrange the trip so that transport is safe, convenient and trustworthy.

The organization focuses on reproductive and gender-affirming care. The site says its flights take people who need those services across the United States. It also says many patients face long travel, lost wages and time away from family.

The site describes its mission as enabling people to access essential healthcare through private and commercial aviation. It says the volunteer network works through careful coordination with partner organizations and logistics coordinators. The site lists values such as bodily autonomy and access as a right.

The site notes that most people in the United States live within thirty miles of an airstrip. It says the aviation community has long given angel flights to cancer patients and disaster survivors. The organization says it adds support for other kinds of healthcare access.

The site has pages for pilots, partners, passengers, media and an annual report. Pilots can offer their services through the site. Organizations can connect with the group, and volunteers can help spread the word about the work.
