Your request should include the following: why the travel is urgent, the impact to the organization/business if this individual cannot travel on the date desired, and why this is the only person who can attend this event.
2. Medical Emergencies - Only the patient and one (1) immediate family member with a letter from the hospital are authorized to apply for the appointment.
