STATESBORO, Ga. (WTOC) - Many in Bulloch County and surrounding counties have rallied around a helicopter nurse-paramedic whoâs battling COVID-19.
Crews at Air Evac-Statesboro say Matt Rogers is the kind of guy who will do anything for anybody. So, theyâre doing all they can for him.
Rogers has treated patients on choppers for almost a decade. In January, he was hospitalized with COVID.
Since then, heâs been moved to hospitals in Savannah and now Jacksonville. Co-workers say heâs a loyal friend, husband, father, and more and has saved countless patients over the years. The crew personally flew him to Florida.
