Issue no. 80, June 2013 - Rega

Patronage
Rega, PF 1414, 8058 Zürich-Flughafen
Rega’s patronage system
is absolutely unique
Rega is not something that can
be taken for granted. Although
it receives no subsidies from
the State, it is able to provide
emergency medical assistance
from the air around the clock
thanks to the financial support
of its over 2.4 million patrons.
Without you, dear patrons, Rega would not
exist. Patronage is worthwhile – whether you
end up needing it or not. Insurance policies do
not always cover all the costs of a rescue
mission or repatriation from abroad. If you, as
a Rega patron, ever need to call on Rega for
assistance, it shows its appreciation for your
financial support by waiving the cost of the
Rega mission. When everything else fails,
Rega patronage acts as a safety net. And
above all, you are helping others – for your
annual patronage contribution helps keep
Swiss Air-Rescue in the air.
We constantly receive questions about
Rega patronage, particularly regarding Family
Patronage. Here are a few useful answers.
Our daughter will be 18 years old this year.
Is she still included in our Family Patronage
during 2013?
Yes. If we know the birth dates of your family
members, from 2014 your daughter will
automatically be listed under your Family
Patronage as an additional Individual patron.
Do we need to be married to qualify for
Family Patronage?
No. The Family Patronage category applies
to both married and cohabiting couples with
children under 18 years of age.
