MAMA - Mountain Area Medical Airlift

Big thanks to Dana Fire Department for hosting a Scene Team Landing Zone class with us this morning! 🚁🚒

It was a great refresher on safe LZ setup, communications, and scene coordination. Training like this ensures when minutes matter, everyone on the ground and in the air is on the same page. This type of partnership is what makes safe, efficient air medical operations possible. We’re grateful to Dana Fire for the teamwork and for investing in continued training.

Please help us congratulate two of our own, Carrie Underwood and Charlie Carter, for being part of the 2025 North Carolina Great 100 Nurses!!! Their contributions to emergency medicine in WNC and throughout the state are truly amazing. We can't say enough about the impact they have had on the MAMA program, Mission Hospital, and on the thousands of patients they have cared for over the years. Thank you Carrie and Charlie!!!

📣 Shoutout to Harris-Jackson EMS & Rescue Squad, Glenville-Cashiers EMS, Cullowhee FD, Jackson Co EOC, Mission MedCom, and Mission Hospital who pulled together like clockwork to make it happen. It takes a whole system working in sync to move fast, provide excellent care, and get patients where they need to be! ✨

We want to extend a huge thank you to the amazing air traffic control team at Asheville Regional Airport! Thank you for your dedication and partnership! MAMA Air, along with Mission MedCom, was able to stop in and meet with AVL's ATC team. Having these relationships reinforces our commitment to safety and allows us to work more effectively in the region.
