The award was presented by The Women’s Edge and Boston Globe Magazine. 2022 marks the 22nd year of recognizing the women power players driving the Massachusetts economy.
“I am proud and humbled that Boston MedFlight is among this year’s honorees,” said Maura Hughes, CEO of Boston MedFlight. “It’s a real testament to the strength and devotion of the incredible team who live our nonprofit, lifesaving mission every day.”
Boston MedFlight is the region’s primary provider of critical care transport to the most critically ill and injured infants, children and adults.

And in line with its nonprofit mission, they have cared for those patients without regard for their insurance status or ability to pay.
