Medical Transportation

Southwest Airlines has joined forces with photographer Robert X. Fogarty and Dear World, which works through the medium of photography to give its subjects a simple and profound voice through photos.
Southwest Airlines Medical Transportation Grant Program
Through Southwest Airlines Medical Transportation Grant Program (MTGP) we provide complimentary, roundtrip tickets to nonprofit hospitals and medical transportation organizations. The program was created to provide much-needed assistance to medical patients and their family members who are traveling for specialized life-saving or life-changing medical care. Thereby, giving patients (and their families) peace of mind about how they get to the care they need. We are honored to work with a network of hospitals and organizations that support this special mission.
This year Southwest will partner with the following nonprofit hospitals and organizations in our 2020 Medical Transportation Grant Program. Note, Southwest allows participating nonprofit hospitals and medical transportation nonprofit organizations the freedom to determine how to distribute the tickets to patients and/or caregivers. Therefore, patients and/or caregivers seeking assistance need to contact the program partners directly, using the links or contact information listed below, as each partner has its own guidelines for administration of these tickets.
Southwest Airlines is announcing that more than $4 million in free transportation is being provided to more than 90 hospitals and organizations nationwide who have been selected as recipients of the 2020 Medical Transportation Grant Program. To date, more than $35.6 million in free transportation has been distributed in 40 cities in 27 states since the program’s inception in 2007.
