Of interest … Flight For Life

This from Asher Heimermann:

Flight for Life, celebrating their 35th year of service in 2019, closed their Fond du Lac, Wisconsin helicopter base on Friday, January 18, 2019 after 10 years of operating a medical helicopter out of the city. According to a post on Facebook by Flight for Life, they are reducing their fleet of helicopters. The McHenry, Illinois base will remain operational while their Waukesha-Milwaukee base will likely relocate to the West Bend, Wisconsin area.

 

Flight for Life launched a ground-base ambulance service last October with two ambulances but will put a third in operation soon according to a post on their Facebook Page.

  RJ, yes. They are doing critical care inter-facilities for patients that would need the CC-level care and a helicopter cannot transport for weather, weight, etc. There has been talk they could be special-called to scenes during inclement weather but I haven’t seen them used as such yet.

  Does anyone know how they are using their ambulances? Interfacility transports like a private ambulance service?
