LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – It was lunch time on the shore of Clear Lake, another relaxed day.
Without warning, Linda’s husband John slumped over in his chair, his skin a pale gray.
She did the right thing – dialed 911.
Soon they heard the welcome sound of a REACH helicopter landing nearby.
With practiced skill and appropriate speed, John was airlifted to the hospital.
He’s back home now, and John and Linda are enjoying each day together. Because they were insured REACH for Life members, they had no expenses for the REACH air ambulance transport.
In life-threatening emergencies, every minute counts. Rapid care and air transport can mean the difference between life and death.
Linda and John’s story illustrates how unexpected events can catch you off guard–emergencies can happen–at work, at home, or on the road while traveling.
REACH Air Medical Services offers a low-cost air ambulance membership program with a very reasonable annual cost of only $50 for an entire family.
Membership covers the gap between your insurance coverage and the remainder of the bill. Those fees could be thousands of dollars—and you could be responsible for paying them. These unexpected expenses on top of other medical bills can be financially devastating.
If you do not have current health insurance at the time of transport, membership covers 50 percent of the total charges of an emergency air ambulance transport by REACH; you will be responsible for the remainder of the bill.
REACH helicopters are “emergency rooms in the air” flown by experienced pilots, where care is administered by highly-skilled nurses and paramedics. To date, REACH has flown more than 55,000 life-saving missions.
REACH thrives by always doing what is right for patients. Whether they are the smallest of newborns or the frail elderly, whether injured or critically ill and in need of specialized health care at a distant hospital, REACH is standing by.
Protect your loved ones and your assets with a REACH for Life membership today. It’s easy to enroll.
New members can join online or download an application at www.REACHair.com.

CLEARLAKE, Calif. – D&M Compassion Center, located in Clearlake, won the High Times Medical Cannabis Cup for best hybrid entry at the second annual Medical Cup in San Francisco on Sunday, June 26.
D&M Compassion Center owner Jason Jones said the club won for an exclusive strain it developed from a clone called “OG Kush.”
“It's an all-around strain,” said Jones, explaining that it can be smoked at any time as a pain controller but won't leave patients feeling burned out.
Jones said the dispensary also entered last year with a strain it developed called “Lake County Purple.”
“We didn't win last year but we got a lot of recognition,” he said, adding he thinks that recognition carried over. “A lot of people remembered us when we showed up at the cup this year.”
Lake County Purple is more of a serious pain reliever than OG Kush, he said.
Jones said there is no money attached to the award, “just prestige,” explaining that it lets people know they have the best medicine.
He said the dispensary – one of three operating in the city of Clearlake – has a compassion program in which they give away three pounds of medical marijuana per month to patients who can't afford it.
D&M Compassion Center is located at 14491 Olympic Drive, Clearlake, telephone 707-994-1320 or online, www.dmcompassion.com.
