CAN Launches “Lifeline” – A Newsletter Connecting Aviation and Healthcare Professionals in Support of Cancer Patients

Corporate Angel Network (CAN has announced the launch of Lifeline, a new publication created to connect the aviation industry with healthcare providers and the patients they serve.

Lifeline offers readers a compelling look into the impact of CAN’s mission, highlighting inspiring patient stories, updates from healthcare and aviation partners, and opportunities for engagement within the business aviation industry. The publication aims to deepen awareness of CAN’s work, encourage new partnerships, and foster a community of support for cancer patients in critical need of lifesaving travel.

“Lifeline is more than a newsletter — it’s a meaningful connection point between the people who fly, the people who heal, and the people who need both to survive,” said Bob Stangarone, President and CEO of CAN. “By sharing these stories and insights, we hope to inspire continued generosity and collaboration across our network.”

The inaugural issue features reflections from flight partners, an exclusive interview with Ed Bolen offering a behind-the-scenes look at the CAN-NBAA partnership, insights from a leading oncologist, a moving patient story told by his mother and a profile of both CAN’s patient services manager and a dedicated volunteer — all reinforcing the vital role business aviation plays in expanding access to treatment.
