By GlobalData“Air medical services ensure fast and efficient transport with the best clinicians and pilots in the industry.
“It is also important to us that we do not require patients to purchase memberships for our services, unlike many other air medical companies, and that our patient advocacy teams help patients navigate post-flight insurance requirements to avoid costly out-of-pocket expenses.”
Air medical teams are trained to perform lifesaving interventions for patients.
Air Methods and AirLife Utah comply with Covid-19 protocols by providing crews with complete personal protective equipment (PPE) and aircraft decontamination after each mission.
Ogden Regional Medical Centre CEO Mark Adams said: “AirLife Utah’s aircraft and skilled crew will also make interfacility transports possible, as necessary, as Covid-19 cases continue to surge in the region. It is crucial that we have air medical transport capabilities, and we are happy to partner with Air Methods to serve our community.”
