✨ Survival Story – A Reunion Two Years Later ✨

What started as a beautiful March day in 2024 quickly turned into a life‑changing moment for Jennifer and her now‑husband while out snow machining in Idaho City. As she took in the scenery, what appeared to be flat ground suddenly wasn’t—sending her snowmachine into an unexpected drop. Jennifer struck her face twice, was knocked unconscious, and the machine continued forward with her still on the accelerator.

The accident left her with extensive injuries, including a broken orbital bone, fractured nose, skull fracture, TBI, dislocated shoulder, torn rotator cuff, separated pelvis, and a tibial plateau fracture.

Thanks to her husband’s quick thinking and calm response, help was called immediately. Air St. Luke’s was dispatched, and Jennifer was transported for critical care.

After many surgeries and ongoing healing, Jennifer reached out because she wanted to meet the crew who helped save her life that day. Now—two years later—she reunited with the pilot and flight crew who were with her in one of the hardest moments of her life.

During the reunion, she shared these heartfelt words:
“You all saved my life and you should be really proud of the work you do. Not only did you get me to the hospital when I needed it, you kept me calm, and I'm pretty sure you made me laugh...I remember one of you letting me hold your hand when I though I might panic as we took off... I write that because I know that those moments when you care for people you don't know, can open yourselves up to letting the job bother you. I hope I won't ever be that for you.”

We are grateful for Jennifer’s strength, her incredible resilience, and the opportunity for our team to reconnect with her. Stories like hers remind us why we do what we do.

Some days, the story starts high on the mountain—fresh snow, cold wind, and a call for help.

From the slopes to our mobile ICUs, every handoff, every decision, and every mile traveled is part of a larger story: one of teamwork that puts patients first.

Here’s to the partners who make safe endings possible, all season long.

Idaho winter is looking a little different this year...but our crews sure aren't.

No matter the season or the weather, Air St. Luke’s continues to operate with the same commitment, skill, and excellence our communities rely on.

A huge thank you to our pilot, Courtney, for capturing and sharing this incredible shot of our aircraft braving the snowy conditions.

Wherever we’re needed — we’re ready.

Today, our hearts are with the incredible nurses who carry hope through the skies and across the miles. Happy Critical Care Transport Nurses Day!

At Air St. Luke’s, we are profoundly grateful for the nurses who choose this calling. They don’t just provide care during transport — they carry our mission, our community, and the weight of countless moments that change lives forever.

To our transport nurses:
Thank you for your courage.
Thank you for your skill.
Thank you for giving so much of yourselves in service to others.

You are heroes in motion, and today we honor you.

REMINDER: The Boise Police Department, alongside several other emergency responders, plan to light up the evening sky with their vehicles’ emergency lights outside St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital and Idaho Elks Children’s Pavilion from 6:30-6:45 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 18.

The annual "Shine A Light" event is intended to show love and support for kids and families in the hospital during the holidays.

The 15-minute light display has become a valued tradition, with St. Luke’s working alongside local officials to light up the area along Avenue B and Jefferson Street near the Boise hospital with dozens of vehicles.

Hospital staff are encouraged to look near the skybridge during the event to see the colorful lights!

Please watch for brief road closures in the area around 5:30-7 p.m.

✨ Meet Air St. Luke’s Flight Paramedic: Sam Schwab

Sam Schwab grew up in Bellevue, Idaho, and has been an integral part of expanding Air St. Luke’s operations into the Wood River Valley to better serve the community.

This past November, Sam had the awesome opportunity to visit his daughter Penelope’s kindergarten class at Bickel Elementary School for Career Day! The students spent the week exploring all kinds of important jobs — and of course, learning what flight paramedics do to help people in emergencies.

Sam shared with the kids:

“I love my job. I work with the best coworkers, and I genuinely enjoy taking care of people. Being there for someone on their worst day gives me a sense of purpose, and it’s something I carry with me knowing I did my best when they needed me most.”

Penelope is proud of her dad’s career as a paramedic. She lovingly calls his patients “sicky people” and, while there are times, she doesn’t want him to leave for work, she’s always excited to visit, see the helicopter, and cheer on the crew. Inspired by her dad, Penelope has developed a love for animals and dreams of becoming a veterinarian when she grows up.

To make the day even more exciting, the kids took home Air St. Luke’s coloring pages — and we were thrilled to receive some masterpieces back! Nothing beats seeing the world of emergency medicine through the creativity of a kindergartener.
