As well as ensuring the survival of this vital service, Friends receive some direct benefits including being airlifted back to Gisborne if you are taken to a hospital outside the region as a result of an accident or medical emergency.
Membership options include a $45 friend membership or a $100 family, business or farm membership. Donations are tax deductible. Contact us to become a friend.
