Angel MedFlight Receives an Emmy Nomination for "My Real Life Moment" Video Series

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Angel MedFlight Worldwide Air Ambulance is proud to accept an Emmy nomination from the Rocky Mountain Southwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for its "My Real Life Moment – Steven Hill" patient profile. The segment featuring Angel MedFlight patient and stroke survivor, Steven Hill, is one of three nominees in the Interview/Discussion/Feature/Segment category. The Emmy winner will be announced during the Rocky Mountain Emmy Awards on Saturday evening, October 8^th at Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. Angel MedFlight's Emmy nominated video can be viewed on its website at AngelMedFlight.com/my-real-life-moment-steven-hill.html.

"We're grateful to the Emmy selection committee for their recognition of this compelling story," said Barry Keyles, Angel MedFlight's Chief Creative Officer and Vice President. "While the segment focuses on the catastrophic medical condition that Steven suffered while on vacation in a foreign country and his on-going rehabilitation, it is also an inspiring story about the love and support of his wife and his family. We're thankful that Angel MedFlight was able to transport Steven and help the Hill family."

"My Real Life Moment – Steven Hill"
Produced by the Angel MedFlight team, the segment was filmed over the course of five years, following Hill through his initial recovery and ongoing rehabilitation. Hill was just 33 years old when he suffered both an ischemic and a hemorrhagic stroke while on vacation with his wife Tanya in Jamaica in 2009. The next hours, days and weeks were harrowing as Hill received a medical flight to Florida for treatment, uncertain if he would survive. Hill required a craniectomy to remove part of his skull known as the bone flap to allow for the swelling of his brain. Stable, but still in serious condition, Angel MedFlight provided an air ambulance transfer to Boston for his extended care and rehabilitation.

Hill still lives in the Boston area with Tanya and they expressed their appreciation to the Emmy selection committee with a joint statement, "We are honored along with Angel Med Flights to have created this documentary that shows Steven's journey from tragedy to happy ending. Thank you to everyone involved with this project."
