AirCARE1 was founded by a compassionate and dedicated flight nurse who felt that the medical air ambulance service she worked for at the time didn’t adequately provide for its patients. We are unique in the industry and provide caring and compassionate transport to any patient who needs care in a distant medical facility. We transport both domestically and internationally, so if you need air ambulance service, you can rely on our team’s years of experience.
Our mission statement at AirCARE1 is to “Do what is right for our patient at all times as we transport them with exceptional care equal to or better than the best premiere medical facility.”
We know life is unpredictable and that medical events can be upsetting, so we promise to do everything we can to give the patients we transport peace of mind and comfort. One way AirCARE1 strives to earn our patients’ trust is through our commitment to employee safety and training. We are proud of our impeccable safety record and our highly trained employees!
Everyone at AirCARE1 believes in meeting and exceeding industry safety and training standards.
Our Learjets are one of the safest aircrafts in the industry. We also staff each flight with reliable, hard-working aviation professionals passionate about your health. Two highly experienced pilots captain every patient’s journey with AirCARE1, just like on a commercial airliner. And you have our guarantee that our pilots are the best of the best. They each have an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) rating which is the highest FAA pilot certification possible. Also, every pilot we hire receives annual recurrent simulator training and has flown a minimum of 3000 hours. There are also at least two medical crew members on every flight to include an experienced critical care nurse, and either a nationally registered critical care paramedic or a registered respiratory therapist.
AirCARE1 holds accreditation with CAMTS, a voluntary achievement in the air ambulance industry. CAMTS, which stands for the “Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems,” is the oldest standing accrediting body based out of South Carolina that accredits air ambulance providers based on their level of safety compared to industry standards. Fortunately, AirCARE1 already holds itself to the most stringent safety standards so renewing this accreditation every three years is repeatedly achieveable. This dedication to quality shows AirCARE1’s commitment to outstanding care for patients and their families.
There are many factors that make AirCARE1 unique among medical transport companies. One is the degree of care and attention that each patient receives. AirCARE1 realizes that flying can be stressful and nerve-wracking for everyone involved, including a patient dealing with a medical condition. For this reason, AirCARE1’s staff takes the patient’s emotional well-being into account as well. Each patient is treated to an assortment of options, which range from noise canceling headphones to stress-reducing techniques like aromatherapy and even hand massages. On longer flights, family members and loved ones traveling with the patient are permitted to bring their favorite music and personal items from home that might make the journey more pleasant and comfortable.
Every patient is transported with state-of-the-art medical equipment that mirrors the quality provided in any leading hospital. This means that the patient can safely travel between destinations without sacrificing safety. Neonates, for example, are transported in airborne Neonatal Intensive Care Units, or NICUs, which ensure safe travel from one location to the next. Geriatric patients, as another example, are accompanied by specialized monitoring and lifesaving equipment that tracks their vitals.
Commercial Medical Escorts is an additional service we offer to people who are not critically ill or injured but who need long-distance transportation, often to get home after a medical crisis has occurred during travel. When you request our medical escort services, we take care of booking the appropriate commercial flights for you and for anyone traveling with you. We also arrange for you to get medical clearance to travel by plane and to get the necessary FAA-approved medical equipment such as oxygen or a wheelchair. The medical escort that we provide to travel with you will have experience in both critical and emergency care so that you can rest assured you are in good hands. In order to use our commercial medical escort services, the patient must be in a non-critical condition, be free of contagious diseases, and be able to sit upright during takeoff and landing. Additionally, a doctor must state they are able to fly.
