Houston, TX – Houston Safari Club Foundation (HSCF) is proud to announce the renewal of Global Rescue as an HSCF sponsor, continuing a partnership that provides HSCF members and the hunting community with access to critical traveler safety, field rescue, medical evacuation and emergency assistance.
For hunters and outdoor enthusiasts who routinely travel to remote destinations around the world, preparation is an essential part of the adventure. Global Rescue provides specialized planning, preparation and crisis response services designed to assist travelers when illness, injury or other unexpected emergency occurs.
Global Rescue membership provides 24/7/365 access for traveler assistance, field rescue from the point of injury or illness, medical evacuation, advisory services, travel intelligence, and emergency support. The company has conducted more than 25,000 operations worldwide and serves travelers in some of the most remote and challenging environments.
Unlike traditional travel insurance, which is generally designed to provide financial reimbursement for covered expenses such as trip cancellation, interruption or medical costs, Global Rescue membership focuses on traveler protection including emergency response, rescue, evacuation, and medical advisory services. The two can also be combined to provide emergency traveler assistance and financial protection during international travel.
For the hunting community, that distinction can be particularly important. Hunts and expeditions frequently take travelers far from major medical facilities, and getting appropriate assistance can become considerably more complicated when an emergency occurs in a remote location. Global Rescue specializes in helping members navigate those situations, including field rescue and medical evacuation to an appropriate facility or, when applicable, repatriation to a member's home hospital of choice.
"We are pleased to continue our relationship with Global Rescue," said Joe Betar, Executive Director of Houston Safari Club Foundation. "Our members travel all over the world in pursuit of hunting, conservation and outdoor adventures. Having access to a trusted resource for emergency assistance and medical evacuation is an important part of responsible preparation for those trips."
"Hunters often travel far beyond the reach of conventional emergency services, where an illness or injury can quickly become a serious challenge," said Kelli Poole, avid worldwide hunter and Global Rescue manager. "We're proud to continue our partnership with Houston Safari Club Foundation and help its members prepare for those journeys with access to field rescue, medical evacuation and expert medical advisory services when they need them most."
Global Rescue's commitment to the outdoor and hunting community aligns closely with HSCF's mission of preserving the sport of hunting through education, conservation, and the promotion of our hunting heritage. HSCF is grateful for Global Rescue's continued support and its commitment to helping hunters and travelers prepare for the unexpected.
"Whether traveling across the country or halfway around the world, preparation is part of every successful hunt," Betar added. "We encourage hunters to consider not only where their next adventure will take them, but also how they will respond if something goes wrong."
