Celebrating EMS Week means recognizing those that make a difference in all the areas they touch. Whether it’s delivering care at bedside, in the aircraft, helping to mentor others or sharing knowledge with the community, we hope all EMS providers strive to do more and be more. We thank Michelle for her service and dedication, as well as all the other EMS providers who don the uniform in their communities.

For Michelle Story, EMS is more than a career. It’s personal. Serving the same community that she’s called home for more than a decade, Michelle finds purpose in being there for people on their hardest days. She also revels in the trust she’s built with her team, as the base clinical lead nurse for Air Evac Lifeteam 88 - Harlan, KY.

Her positive outlook and eagerness are not limited to any one EMS professional, and those who embody these traits are truly blessings worth recognizing this EMS Week.

Thank you, Michelle, for personifying our mission by showing up every day with the commitment to making a lifelong difference in healthcare!

We often refer to pediatric emergencies as HALO transports — High Acuity, Low Occurrence patients. These are the calls a clinician may encounter only a few times each year, yet they demand extraordinary attention to detail, clinical expertise, and compassion.

These patients are critically ill, and caring for them affects us deeply. We are moms, dads, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. We are human, too. In moments of crisis, we are called upon without hesitation to help transport these precious children to the specialized care they need.

Success in these situations requires constant training, refined skills, and unwavering teamwork to ensure the safe and effective care our patients deserve.

Today, multiple flight crews from across Central and Eastern Kentucky came together for a dedicated day of pediatric critical care education and training. Thank you to all of the instructors and flight crews who recognized the importance of focusing on this unique patient population and collaborated to create a meaningful and valuable learning opportunity.

Your commitment to excellence, preparedness, and compassionate care makes a difference when it matters most.

No Overnight Parking Allowed! Vehicles left overnight will become the property of the owners.

All joking aside, we’re excited to introduce our new base aircraft! Yesterday we received our first Bell 407 aircraft. She will be with us until approximately June when we receive our permanent Bell 407GX. The Bell 206s and Bell 407s are the workhorses of the aviation fleet. We’re thankful to have this asset at Air Evac 88 now and look forward to using it to better serve our communities. If you’re in the area, stop in and say hello. Our crews won’t mind showing her off!
