The Upland Hills Health Foundation Board of Directors
would like to announce that a bench in honor and celebration
of the lives of Mark Coyne, Steve Lipperer, and Dr.
Darren Bean, the Flight Crew from the May 10, 2008
Med Flight One tragedy, has been recently placed outside
the Emergency Services door.
The bench was purchased through contributions made
by staff members of Upland Hills Health. “It
is an honor to have the names of these three people
on a bench outside one of the facilities that utilizes
Med Flight. Med Flight has saved the lives of
many people and it is very significant to have the
staff members of Upland Hills Health understand what
this memorial means to each Med Flight medical team
member,” stated Dr. Michael Foley, Med Flight
and Upland Hills Emergency Physician. Annually,
Med Flight One travels approximately 30-35 times to
Upland Hills Health. |
