AirCARE1 began as a simple dream of a dedicated critical care nurse named Denise Waye. Denise had a deep love of both flying and caring for patients which eventually led her to make the natural decision to become a flight nurse. She embarked on her initial flight without being given a formal orientation or appropriate training. Yet, despite her lack of training, Denise loved the experience of providing care to her patients while transporting them to their destinations.
While Denise enjoyed being a flight nurse, she came to realize that there were significant safety and training issues that needed to be addressed. When she brought her concerns to the company she had worked for, Denise was not met with a receptive ear. After several months of trying to improve things, she was given the wise advice to either change her attitude and stay with the company or change her job. Denise chose to leave her position and proceeded to start her own company which became AirCARE1.
Denise worked non-stop to build a company founded on the premise of high-quality customer care, integrity, and safety while providing premier services to her patients and their families. Her story reflects the aspirations of a tenacious nurse who valued hard work and never gave up.
Today, AirCARE1 owns a fleet of aircrafts at two bases and is the preferred air ambulance and medevac service for many insurance companies. Every medically configured Learjet is outfitted with a critical care unit, two ATP-rated pilots and a medical crew that is extensively trained in critical care. AirCARE1 is committed to ensuring that the equipment and staff are prepared for any situation in seamlessly transferring patients bedside-to-bedside and providing first-rate medical care.

AirCARE1 practices a holistic approach to care on air ambulance flights which helps to reduce patient stress and anxiety. As a former music major, Denise believes in the positive effect that holistic care can have on a patient’s well-being. The AirCARE1 team has been practicing holistic care for over 10 years and has witnessed the patient benefits with this unique approach.
The holistic care concept is to treat each patient’s needs while treating the whole person. Holistic care utilizes all the components of traditional medicine while simultaneously treating the mental and spiritual health of the patient. Massage, noise cancelling headphones, hand massages, and aromatherapy are just some of the holistic therapies that the medical flight crew employs to care for the body, mind, and spirit. Many patients express feeling a deep connection with their nurse and find the treatment soothing and comforting. Traditional healing is important and necessary, however, combining skilled technical medical care with holistic therapy has proved to be the most effective method for providing a premier air ambulance care.

The Learjets we user are known as one of the most efficient aircrafts in the industry for long-range air ambulance transport.
