Why Choose Life Flight?
When it comes to critical care transport services,
there is no doubt that Life Flight has changed the response and delivery
of critical care services throughout the region.
Saint
Alphonsus Life Flight began services in 1986, and was the first critical
care transport program developed in Idaho. After flying over 20,000 missions
and growing to claim over 100,000 square miles as our local service, Life
Flight has earned respect as being the most skilled and progressive flight
program in Idaho. Simply stated, for over 20 years we
have committed our lives to saving yours.
Our medical crew, pilots, and dispatchers make up a highly trained team who, throughout years of experience, has developed an instinct and unmatched skill in locating and caring for the critically ill and injured. Whether you require medical transport from one hospital to another, or are in a remote location, Life Flight will respond and transport you to the nearest, most appropriate hospital for care.
Our unparalleled commitment to bring you home safely, plus our use of state-of-the-art technologies such as satellite tracking and night vision goggles to enhance wilderness rescues, makes us the number one medical transport team that agencies call for the most complicated missions.
Life
Flight is an extension of the region's only
Trauma Center, at Saint Alphonsus, which allows our flight crew to work in
a trauma environment and experience, understand and practice first-hand
how to best care for the critically ill and injured patients.
Life Flight was also one of the first air medical transport programs in Idaho to achieve accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems (CAMTS), which enforces strict safety standards and guidelines for transporting patients. Life Flight is among 35 percent of programs in the nation that have achieved this accreditation.
Of course, we cannot do this alone; we depend on
local ambulance, fire, law enforcement and hospital crews to begin life-saving care, communicate emergency information, and prepare safe landing
zones for our arrival. Our
collaborative efforts with these rural healthcare providers have helped to
improve the quality of medical care for patients—right from the start.
We also depend on the financial support of our members—now number over 90,000 individuals—for your continued commitment to help us improve critical care response throughout the region.
