Book excerpt: Joan Sullivan Garrett AutobiographyForeword by Barbara Barrett, 25th United States Secretary of the Air Force ~ "Like Joan, I encourage young people to pursue their dreams and consider lives of service. One Life Lost, Millions Gained inspires me and will surely inspire future generations of business and medical professionals." If you haven't heard of Joan Sullivan Garrett or MedAire, you are in for a ride! As a flight nurse, all Joan ever wanted to do is save lives. In 1984, the loss of a young patient in the remote mountains of Arizona compelled her to pioneer global telemedicine - quite a feat in those days. As an unlikely CEO, Joan found a way to connect ground-based emergency physicians to flight crews from anywhere in the world - a safety net for you, the traveler, during medical emergencies. This entrepreneurial story shares the passion and sacrifice required to build a legacy, which continues today through the international company Joan built from scratch and her numerous industry awards and honors.Ed Bolen, President and CEO of the National Business Aviation Association ~"Joan is an absolute giant in the field of aviation." www.joansullivangarrett.com
