When Mike Uboldi purchased a Global Rescue membership for his wife and himself, he was doing so in preparation for his many international trips. Despite his experiences in Spain, Argentina, and Africa, among other places, Mike never needed to call Global Rescue while he was overseas. He made the call to Global Rescue when his wife was diagnosed with acute diverticulitis while in the United States.

Mary Uboldi was admitted to St. Mark’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah. “My experience was extremely favorable. It was more of a medical consultation because she did not require medical transport,” Mike stated.  “The Global Rescue team was fantastic — very, very helpful and very willing to engage at any moment. They certainly gave me every indication that Global Rescue would arrange to have Mary transported back to Reno if her condition worsened, but that fortunately never occurred.”

“Your folks at Global Rescue were great,” Mike continued.  “They contacted me every single day for a status report and offered to provide oversight if I needed it.”  After a brief stay in St. Mark’s, Mary was discharged and the couple was able to return home.  Mary is well on her way to a full recovery.

Mike was so impressed with how Global Rescue handled his case that he has recommended it to his son, another international traveler.  “In any event, it was a great comfort,” explained Mike. “Global Rescue is a very good service. Little did I know that I might need to utilize it here in the States, let alone just 500 or 600 miles from home.”
