Common Medical Scenarios We Address in Phoenix
Life presents situations where air transport is the only feasible solution. Sick or injured yet stable patients often cannot fly commercially. Here are some situations we assist patients with in Phoenix:
- Visitors who suffer a heart attack, stroke or serious injury and need to fly home
- Infants born prematurely in a hospital not equipped with the necessary NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit)
- Phoenix residents who become ill while on a vacation or a cruise
- Cancer patients who need air medical transport to a more specialized facility
In addition, we now offer a Commercial Medical Escort service where we accompany patients who may not need a dedicated aircraft and are able to travel under medical supervision on a commercial flight. This cost-effective alternative provides a skilled travel companion to help you get back to Phoenix or fly a beloved parent or adult child to Phoenix if they become ill or injured. Patients must be medically certified by their physician to qualify for this service.

There are special needs elderly patients may have, and AirCARE1 has the means to accommodate them, including having extra oxygen available at higher altitudes and more sensitive medications to administer during flights.
Our geriatric nurses are trained to handle these situations, which will help provide peace of mind during your flight.
Premium Medical Equipment for Air Ambulance Services in Phoenix, Arizona
AirCARE1 utilizes its signature LifePort Patient Care System to ensure patient comfort and safety. Some air ambulance companies set their monitoring equipment on an adjoining seat where it can shift during takeoff, landing and flight. The stretchers we use at AirCARE1 include a monitor bracket to safely secure monitoring equipment.
Patients are transferred into the aircraft with a customized patient loading ramp system. Our ramp helps prevent wobbling, tilting and tipping when loading and unloading. This is often one of the most stressful times for patients but our specialized ramp system helps make the process quicker, safer and less distressing.
Only the most advanced monitoring equipment is used so that even the most fragile patients can be safely transported.
The latest medical equipment is only beneficial if it is paired with a seasoned medical team that provides competent and compassionate care. Our team of healthcare professionals includes critical care nurses, paramedics, physicians and respiratory therapists. AirCARE1’s medical director has over 20 years of medical experience and is also a private pilot with extensive flight experience.
Enhanced Comfort and Smoother Ride
AirCARE1 does everything possible to assure patient comfort during transfer from the hospital to the aircraft as well as during the flight. We offer noise-canceling headsets with soothing music, hand massages and aromatherapy.
