Critical Care in the Air.

Scene Response

North Flight Aero Med, operated by Corewell Health Hospitals, covers northern Michigan and beyond with critical care air ambulance services. The helicopter, a Sikorsky S-76, is one of the most powerful and reliable aircraft in service today and is capable of speeds up to 180 mph. The interior is designed for advanced trauma care, placing medical equipment, blood and medication within easy reach of the medical flight team.

The North Flight Aero Med team brings expertise, fast transport, and treatments not usually available on ground ambulances. The team is trained in advanced clinical procedures that can be initiated while enroute to the trauma center. North Flight Aero Med also carries multiple types of blood products, including whole blood, on every flight as prehospital blood is proven to improve outcomes for trauma patients with significant bleeding. The team also carries hypertonic saline to care for patients experiencing severe head trauma.

Expedite the response of North Flight Aero Med by putting us on standby, or using the Region 7 Auto Launch criteria. The clinical criteria of the Auto Launch protocol is based on the CDC trauma triage guidelines, which predict which patients will need transport to a Level I or II Trauma Center.
