Frequently Asked Questions
Public safety officials, hospital staff/physicians, park rangers and industrial safety officers can request the services of HealthNet Aeromedical Services. Members of the general public are not permitted to request air medical support and instead should dial 911.
Air medical transport is utilized for those who are critically ill or injured. Our teams typically transport persons of all ages experiencing cardiac, neurological, traumatic, respiratory, metabolic or obstetrical emergencies.
Safe delivery of family-centered care is important to us. Each HealthNet Aeromedical Services aircraft can transport a family member, and most often, safety parameters allow that family member to accompany their loved one. The decision to allow a family member to ride on a specific mission is left solely to the medical and aviation professionals. Given the nature of activities conducted in the patient care compartment, family members will not be seated in that area.
HealthNet Aeromedical Services flies on a foundation of safety. Dating to its inception in 1986, the organization has maintained a stellar safety record.
Medical team members must have three years of verified experience serving in an emergency department, intensive care unit or high-volume emergency medical services program.
