It's National Brother's Day 👨‍👦👬 and what better way to celebrate then honoring our favorite CareFlight brothers and flight nurses - The Partin Brothers! Justin recently achieved 1,000 flights with CareFlight and his little brother, Will, soared to 500 flights. Thank you both for all you do. 🚁🚁

CareFlight of the Rockies Nate Wilson is truly one of a kind! He was recently featured on KKCO 11 News for EMS Appreciation Week. We are so honored to have Nate on the team. He is truly deserving of this recognition.

It’s National Emergency Medical Services Week, and we spoke with a local flight nurse about what his job entails.

Congratulations to CareFlight’s very own David Brito. You are so deserving. We are so thankful for you!

We are thrilled to recognize David Brito of CareFlight of the Rockies, with the Intermountain Health L.O.V.E. Award for his incredible act of kindness and selflessness.

On a recent scene call, Dave and his team flew to the mountains to rescue a backpacker from Minnesota suffering from High Altitude Pulmonary Edema. After stabilizing the patient, they flew him to a hospital at a lower elevation. But Dave’s compassion didn’t end there. The following day, as he was finishing his shift, Dave learned the patient’s family was still miles away in the mountains, facing difficult terrain and a long journey to reach him.

Without a second thought, Dave drove the discharged patient to his own home, ensuring he was safe, warm, and comfortable until his family could get there. Imagine the relief the family must have felt, knowing their loved one was in good hands, already closer to them, resting in a safe place with a caring stranger.

Thank you, Dave, for everything you do, both on and off the clock, and for making a lasting difference in the lives of those you serve.
