There are flights that don’t aim for tourist destinations or major airports—flights that take off filled with hope, land on dirt runways, and quietly transform the lives of hundreds of families. These are the flights of the Colombian Air Patrol – Antioquia (PAC), an organization that, for 60 years, has built a legacy of service, solidarity, and commitment to the most remote communities in Colombia.

For 41 years, Fundación Fraternidad Medellín has joined this mission, convinced that the well-being of Colombia and Antioquia is built from every front. What began as occasional support has become a solid and lasting alliance that, year after year, brings free and specialized medical care to territories where access to healthcare is almost a miracle.

Today, these efforts take shape in four annual medical brigades: two in Vigía del Fuerte and two in Siete Vueltas, San Juan de Urabá. There, amid heat, rivers, and jungle, PAC’s volunteer doctors arrive with their equipment, medicine, and knowledge—but above all, with humanity. They treat children who have never seen a pediatrician, let alone one specializing in cardiology; young people who learn about oral health from dentists who teach care and prevention; and adults who find new hope in the hands of a general practitioner or a gynecologist.

Behind each brigade lies a chain of united hands—pilots, doctors, volunteers, and partners—who make it possible for healthcare to reach places where traditional means of transport simply can’t. Because Helping to Help also means trusting those who, from different paths, share the same purpose: transforming lives.

Over these 60 years, the Colombian Air Patrol – Antioquia has proven that serving with commitment, without expecting anything in return, can truly change what happens on the ground. Today, at Fraternidad Medellín, we celebrate with gratitude the opportunity to be part of this story—one that shows that solidarity knows no borders or limits. Because serving is not an isolated act; it’s a commitment renewed every time someone receives care, hope, and, above all, the assurance that they are not alone.
