Our emergency and critical care providers
CareFlight
If you or your loved one needs immediate medical care outside of the hospital, you can reach community emergency services such as the local fire department or ambulance company by calling 911. Trained professionals can then begin treatment right away, even before you reach the hospital. Should you need more advanced care after the emergency room, we may transfer you to another facility, either by an ambulance service or by air.
The CareFlight team of highly trained flight nurses, paramedics, neonatal nurse practitioners, neonatal intensive care nurses, obstetrical nurses, and respiratory therapists provide critical care to adults, children and newborns. We make use of air transport to minimize out-of-hospital time and deliver you to the appropriate destination as safely as possible.
