Mercy Air Ambulance

You may be familiar with Air Methods, Corp. If not, then let us be the first to introduce you to United State’s biggest emergency medical services helicopter operator. With about two hundred and eight medical transport helicopters, there is no doubt that this publicly owned company is indeed the industry’s forerunner. Air Methods have several subsidiaries such as LifeNet Inc., Rocky Mountain Holdings, LLC, and Mercy Air Service, Inc. Let’s focus on Mercy Air Service.

Seeing that the company has ties with Air Methods, Mercy Air Service is known for its helicopter ambulance services. It was established back in 1989 with its main office located at Fontana, California. As a whole, it operates more or less seventeen helicopters and two aircraft which are fixed-wing. Mercy Air Service prides itself in giving competent medical care.

Despite the recent accident involving a Mercy Air ambulance last December 10, 2006, a considerable number of people still entrust their medical care to Mercy Air Service. If a company trains its medical team well, the way Mercy Air Service did, there is no reason why it should shut down its operations after an unfortunate event. In fact, shortly after the incident, a fleet of Mercy Air ambulances are up and about to give a more comprehensive medical air transport.
