For Immediate Release July 18, 2005 Media Contact: Evergreen International Aviation Jordan Hanson Tel: 503.472.9361 jordan.hanson@evergreenaviation.com Evergreen International Aviation Donates Medical Flight for Toddler Galveston, TX—A severely burned 2-year-old child in desperate need of medical attention was transported from San José, Costa Rica to Shriners Burn Center in Galveston, Texas on July 8 in a Lear 35 flight donated by Evergreen Helicopters, Inc. (EHI), a subsidiary of Evergreen International Aviation (Evergreen). Arrangements were made possible by Evergreen, the Center for International Medicine (CIMA) in western San José, the Costa Rican Government, Baylor Health Care System (Baylor), and many generous organizations and businesses that donated time and money. The aircraft, configured for air medical transport by Houston Aviation technical services, arrived on July 8 at San José International Airport in Costa Rica, with a doctor from Baylor, and a flight nurse and respiratory therapist from Shriners Burn Center to transport the child to the Texas hospital for treatment. The child was burned on 78% of his body in a fire caused by a kitchen accident in the communal home he shared with his and other families. The home’s only exit was through the kitchen. Dan Nolan of the Galveston EHI operation said, "Of all the things that I have been associated with in my 40-plus years of work, this makes me the most proud."
