Staff

Our air medical flight transport crews are ready to execute your routine or critical care transport mission. Each mission is a team effort, comprised of the medical director, air medical specialists, a flight coordinator and a dispatcher.

Our highly qualified staff are trained in aircraft safety, altitude and flight physiology, policies and procedures, international protocols, aircraft loading, medical flight equipment, communications, and emergency procedures.

With their expertise in handling air medical equipment, our crews stay ahead of evolving patient care needs through proactive treatment, and are always sensitive to subtle changes in patient condition.

Medical Director

A full-time staff physician, board certified in emergency medicine, our Medical Director is personally involved with each flight. With more than 20 years of career experience in air medical transport, this essential team leader guides and oversees the patient care before, during and after the flight.

The medical flight crew who perform all medical monitoring and interventions while the patient is in our care. Depending on the condition of the patient, the Air Medical Specialist may be a Critical Care Nurse, Critical Care Paramedic, or Physician.
