From red rock formations and impressive mountain peaks, to open ranch country and remote valleys, Colorado’s terrain is as varied as its citizens. Unfortunately, the magnificent views and wild terrain are capable of not only causing injury, but also hindering the rescue efforts and response time of medical teams. Fortunately, air ambulance services alleviate these concerns by providing swift response to injured and ill people in remote areas.
Unlike medical helicopters, air ambulance fleets are made up of agile Lear 35A jets that provide a stable transit option without sacrificing speed and efficiency. These jets are capable of reaching remote areas safely and transporting patients to major medical centers.
Unlike ground ambulances, air ambulances provide a smooth ride and are fully equipped with high-end interiors and state-of-the-art medical equipment. Patients receive bedside-to-bedside service while in the care of experienced, trained professionals. Additionally, loved ones and caretakers are able to travel alongside the patient.
Air Ambulance Service Benefits
Aside from the benefits already mentioned, patients and loved ones choosing air ambulance services experience the following benefits:
Who Benefits from Air Ambulance Services
Skiers and hikers undoubtedly benefit from air ambulance services. When an accident occurs either on the road, the course, or the trail, air ambulance services can reach these remote areas. Support staff is capable of organizing ground and air transport to establish a streamlined route from accident scene to hospital. However, a person doesn’t have to be stranded on a mountain in order to require timely, life-saving transport.
