Appropriate Utilization of Air Medical Services

Air Medical Services are a limited resource, which over time has prompted the need for guidelines on when to use helicopters and airplanes for transports. Criteria has been defined at state, regional, and national levels to ensure proper use of these valuable services. Public safety agencies such as EMS, Fire and Rescue, and Hospitals can receive training from Mercy Flight Central on proper utilization of our services. Contact us to inquire about a seminar on utilization criteria.
