When minutes matter most...

One of the most basic skills an Air Methods team member should have is knowing how to intubate properly. Understanding how to do that properly is a prerequisite for the job. But knowing when to intubate, and in the particular case of this month's patient, knowing when NOT to intubate is most crucial...

Goodbyes are never easy, so we'll just say see you later for now!

Today was the final shift for our paramedic Brian, who will be missed tremendously. You have dedicated over 17 years to flight medicine here at Skylife, one of our true OG's! That is no easy task and something to be proud to leave behind. Thank you for all your hardwork and dedication to our bases and to the counties we serve! We cannot wait for the day to come when we are potentially giving you report on patients in the ER.

Best of luck friend on all your future endeavors!

We want to extend a big Thank You to everyone who came out today to help us celebrate, not only EMS week, but also the milestone of 35 years a service here in the Central CA Valley! Its pretty amazing to look back through all the years, all the people who have come and gone, who have stuck around, and who are crazy enough to join in! We will always be biased that this is the best job in the world and are so happy to share it with so many amazing people!

Donating blood isn’t just a kind gesture—it’s a direct lifeline. When someone is critically injured, especially in trauma situations, air medical helicopters often carry blood on board so treatment can begin before the patient even reaches the hospital. That early transfusion can be the difference between life and death.

Your donation doesn’t sit on a shelf—it can end up thousands of feet in the air, helping a flight crew stabilize someone in their most critical moment. One donation can literally help save a life before it ever touches the ground.

Come out and support a great cause. One of our Visalia Flight Medic’s daughter attends the Tulare Western Pre-Med program and is asking for support!

Your SkyLife 3 crew showed up strong today at Battle of the Beef at Quality Meats Visalia, bringing home 3rd place in the Rib Competition 🔥🍖

Huge respect to all the teams who came out and threw down—seriously impressive talent across the board. The competition was fierce, the flavors were next level, and we’re proud to be part of such a solid group of pitmasters.

Already looking forward to the next one.

We were awarded a $3,000 prize in which our crews turned around and donated to TCSO deputy Randy Hoppert’s family in this difficult time.

Way to go team!!!
