Strong partnerships make strong response teams. 🚁🚑

Intermountain Health Flight & Ambulance Services recently joined some incredible Southern Utah partners for a multi-agency mass casualty incident (MCI) drill.

The exercise brought together teams from Diamond Valley, Dammeron Valley, Veyo, Central, Pine Valley and Enterprise to practice coordination, communication and patient response in a large-scale emergency.

Training together before an emergency happens helps every agency understand how to work side-by-side when minutes matter. We’re grateful for the time, expertise and collaboration of each of these teams—and for the opportunity to learn from one another.

Better prepared. Better connected. Ready when our communities need us. 🚁❤️

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the courage of the first responders, healthcare workers and everyday people who ran toward those who needed help.
For those of us in emergency medical services, their courage and service carry a special meaning. We remember the firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, law enforcement officers and others who answered the call that day, many making the ultimate sacrifice.
We also remember the families, friends and communities forever changed by September 11.
Today and always, we honor their lives, their service and their sacrifice.
We will never forget. 🇺🇸

✨ Caregiver Spotlight: SheriDawn Neilson, Flight Nurse & Senior Educator ✨

SheriDawn has been with Intermountain Health for 19 years and has spent more than 13 years with the Legacy Classic and Intermountain Flight and Ambulance Services teams.

She’s been told she’s “a medic trapped in a nurse’s body,” which she says is pretty accurate. She loves the clinical side of her work, but what means the most is making a difference for patients, whether through critical care, transport or simply being a calm presence during a difficult moment.

Outside of work, SheriDawn is a proud mom to four boys and loves boating, hiking, biking, motorcycles and cheering on her kids. She also has a musical side, playing piano, organ and French horn.

One piece of advice that has stayed with her is, “You have to increase your beauty to death ratio,” a reminder to balance the hard things seen in emergency medicine with beauty, joy and the things that keep you grounded.
Her friends describe her as wicked smart, deeply empathetic, calm, fun and always willing to go to bat for the people around her.

🚁 Training with a view!

Our hoist team recently had an incredible opportunity to train at the beautiful Sundance Mountain Resort, working together to sharpen the skills, communication, and coordination needed for complex rescue operations.
A huge thank you to Sundance Mountain Resort, Utah County Search & Rescue, and our hoist team for partnering to make this important training possible.
Strong partnerships and realistic training help our teams stay ready when every second matters. 💪🚁🏔️

Caregiver Spotlight: Jaime Konopka, Billing & Coding Specialist

For the past 3½ years, Jaime has been an important part of the Intermountain Flight & Ambulance Services Revenue Cycle team, helping ensure every patient story is coded with accuracy, care and attention to detail.

What Jaime loves most about her role is the detective work behind medical billing and coding, carefully reviewing charts to make sure everything is done correctly while supporting the incredible work happening across our teams.

“I know the nurses and pilots do the hard job, but I’m very thankful to be a part of it as well. This is an amazing job and I’m thankful I get to have a little part in it.”

Jaime says what makes her team special is the trust and respect they share with one another. Their collaboration and willingness to help each other creates a strong, supportive environment every day.

Outside of work, Jaime enjoys spending time with her husband and two grown kids, along with baking, woodworking, home improvement projects and crafts.

The advice that continues to guide her?
“Kill ’em with kindness.” 💙

Thank you, Jaime, for the care, positivity and dedication you bring to our team and mission every day.

This Fourth of July, we’re reminded that service takes many forms. 🇺🇸

While many gather with family and friends to celebrate Independence Day, our Flight & Ambulance Services teams continue answering the call, caring for patients, supporting communities, and standing ready 24/7.

As our nation marks 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, we’re especially grateful for the opportunity to serve others through the freedoms we share. Every safe flight, every transport, and every operational decision reflects that commitment.

To every caregiver, pilot, mechanic, communication specialist, EMT, paramedic, and support team member: thank you for your professionalism, dedication, and commitment to bringing one another home safely after every shift.

Wishing you and your families a safe and meaningful Independence Day.

Caregiver Spotlight: Marvin Procter, Flight Nurse

Marvin has been part of the Intermountain family since 1996 and joined Life Flight in 2001. Over the years, he's learned one lesson that always holds true: "Expect the unexpected—always!"

One thing Marvin takes pride in is being a strong partner to his teammates, whether he's leading patient care or providing support behind the scenes.
When he's not caring for patients, you'll find him in his workshop creating projects out of wood.

Fun fact: Before becoming a flight nurse, Marvin spent 20 years as a farrier and is certified as a Journeyman Farrier by the American Farriers Association.
His grounding philosophy is simple: "I know I do not know everything."
Thank you, Marvin, for more than two decades of dedication, teamwork, and service to our patients and communities.
