Last Evening we had the honor and pleasure to talk with the Chapin EMR class about Landing Zones 🚁 and how to assist when we arrive on scene. They got to get an inside look at what we do everyday. So many great questions were asked and it was a fun time for all of us. Not only did they get some great LZ training,but they also got to check out night vision goggles and even see our crew take off on a flight at the end. We look forward to working with you all on scene and wish you great success in finishing up your class.

❤️ We appreciate you all so much!

A big thank you to Air Evac Lifeteam 27 - Jacksonville, IL for stopping by to show their appreciation for our telecommunicators during Telecommunicator Week! 🚁💛

We enjoyed talking with their team about the online air transport application and how it has made the dispatch process faster and more efficient. Being able to request transport online and receive arrival and enroute updates in real time saves valuable time—helping us save more lives when every second counts.

They also spoiled our team with t-shirts and other goodies. We truly appreciate the continued partnership and support from Air Evac and all they do for emergency care in our region! 📞🚑🚁

Last Week our crews teamed up with neighboring Air Evac bases for our quarterly training in Mattoon,IL. They got to spend the day with our educator and medical director working through adult and pediatric simulations and hands-on skills.

Training together like this helps ensure we’re always prepared to deliver critical emergency care anywhere we are needed.

Thank you to our Medical Director Dr. Huff and our regional educator Eric for all the hard work they do making this training a huge success!
