In case of health, injury or accident LUSSO Members can be flown to hospital of their choice anytime
Eden Prairie, Minn. - November 3, 2006 - In a move to provide even greater value to members who join The LUSSO Collection for premium family vacations, or to enjoy 17 or more elite homes in beautiful destination areas, The LUSSO Collection has partnered with MedjetAssist to serve members in the event of a medical emergency. The unique air medical evacuation and travel assistance program is free to new LUSSO members for one year as part of the LUSSO Life(TM) - any time or place. Whether members experience a health issue, injury or accident, MedjetAssist is available worldwide, 24/7 to transport them to an inpatient hospital of their choice at no charge.
"Whether you travel day-to-day for business or plan to take an extended family vacation to an exotic location, MedjetAssist is your ticket home in a medical emergency," says Steve Greer, founder and CEO of The LUSSO Collection. "As we build our collection of superb luxury vacation destinations or 'second and third home' alternatives, we also want to provide greater value and tangible benefits as part of living The LUSSO Life, which accommodates our member's leisure and lifestyle needs throughout the life of their LUSSO membership."
This summer, The LUSSO Collection announced a proprietary partnership with JDCS Luxury Attache in New York that allows members the opportunity to find tough-to-get tickets to Broadway, the Super Bowl, a U2 rock concert, or simply great tables at the hottest restaurants and clubs in the world. "Now with our new welcome gift to members of MedjetAssist," Greer adds, "members and their families can feel more secure in knowing that their medical needs while traveling can be handled with a premium level of care from a professional team of on-board medical personnel and a company with more than 16 years of medical evacuation experience."
Greer says that the LUSSO Life/MedjetAssist provides more service value than the medical flight services offered through select platinum credit card companies including:
- Members can go to the hospital of their choice
- The arrangement also offers medical telephone consultations provided by the University of Pittsburg Medical Center
- Members can even be evacuated from their hometown hospital if they require the unique care of a specialty hospital that is more than 150 miles away.
