President's Letter
 

Transportation Center- by Roy Berger, President/CEO MedjetAssist

That collective sigh of relief you just heard is the MedjetAssist transport operations department taking a deep breath.~  Whew, July has finally ended as the busiest transport month in the 10+ year history of the present Medjet ownership-management team.  While our transport records are proprietary, trust me when I tell you there were many sleepless nights and hours of telephone calls and consults during the month just past.  In fact you can find a partial listing of transport city pairs in this newsletter as you scroll down.~ Click here for the rest of the story

Rudy Maxa's Top Six Hot List - The Twin Cities
 
Coolest Museum in Town: Hard to choose but I’d go with the Mill City Museum along the Mississippi River in Minneapolis.
 
Favorite Restaurants: In St. Paul, it’s Meritage, i Nonni and the St. Paul Grill. In Minneapolis, my picks are Vincent’s, Alma and 112 Eatery.
 
Best Walking Tour: In St. Paul, it’s the walking path along the Mississippi on Shepherd Road. In Minneapolis, it’s the Mill District.
 
Most Interesting House: Summit Avenue in St. Paul is a long, residential, heavily treed street lined with gorgeous mansions.
 
Best Pizza: Meryl Streep knows pizza. Why else would she favor Punch pizza restaurants in the Twin Cities?
 
Don’t Miss This: In St. Paul, it’s the gigantic Indian of Peace standing inside the lobby of City Hall. In Minneapolis, check out the millions of dollars worth of modern art hanging in the public areas of the Chambers Hotel.

I want to thank you and your medical team that flew my wife and me from Las Vegas to Portland. Your service to us exceeded our wildest expectations. The team not only took care of me but saw to it that my wife was cared for also. In today's environment sometimes the product delivered is far short of what is anticipated. Not in the case of Medjet, you are over the top in service and performance - Fredrick

We are so grateful for how you recently helped my wife get back to America. She and the baby are doing well although we did find out that there are actually two fibroids. She is now being looked after in a private clinic that is for high-risk pregnancies. This knowledge and medical care would not have been possible if it was not for your company. - Ron
Finding Internet service on the road can be hard. I just found a service called Boingo that has a large network of Wi Fi hotspots. They have global coverage too and the monthly fee is worth it for someone who depends on the Internet like I do - Michael 
 
We took a three- week trip to China last year and fortunately did not need Medjet. However, a friend suggested taking packages of dried Lipton Chicken Noodle soup (you always have a tea pot in your room to boil water) and packages of cheese crackers in case of upset stomach or TD. It was good advice!! - Martha
