- Everyone wants to ensure that their family is covered in an emergency. The problem is, health insurance may not always be able to cover an entire emergency medical flight. High deductibles, co-pays and other costs could occur even with extensive coverage. This is why membership in the AirMedCare Network is important. You won’t have to pay any bills for medical transport by AMCN providers if you become a member. The best part is that a membership only costs $85 per annum and covers the entire family. AMCN providers can transport over 100,000 patients per year. These are essential benefits that every family must have.

- Stress can manifest in physical symptoms such as headaches, teeth grinding, or digestive problems. Doom-scrolling (sleeping too long, too often, or under-eating), and excessive eating are all signs of stress. Stress can manifest in many ways. You are bombarded with messages telling you to work harder, get more sleep, and be more efficient, but here is a reminder: Take care of your body, take time for yourself and try therapy.
