🚁🚑❄️ Huge thank you to Claiborne County EMS and South Claiborne Fire Department for the outstanding teamwork during this patient transport.

From managing the scene and LZ to seamless coordination in winter conditions, this is what strong partnerships look like. When agencies come together with a shared goal—putting the patient first—it truly makes all the difference.

We’re grateful to serve alongside dedicated professionals who show up for their community every single day. Thank you for trusting UT LIFESTAR to be part of the mission. 💙

🚁❄️ Winter Storm Safety Update ❄️🚁

With winter weather expected across our area, UT LIFESTAR will remain fully operational 24/7 to support our patients and partners throughout the storm.

While we’re always ready to respond, we encourage everyone to prioritize safety—bundle up, limit travel when possible, and take care of one another during the cold.

Stay safe. Stay warm. We’re here if you need us. 💙

🚁 The Quiet Moments Matter Too.

Not every moment is defined by urgency. Some are defined by preparation, reflection, and the responsibility of being ready when the call comes.

From calm skies to complex missions, our crews remain focused on one goal — delivering exceptional critical care when it’s needed most.

🚁 Stronger Together.

Our mission is never accomplished alone. It’s made possible through strong partnerships with EMS agencies, hospitals, dispatch centers, and community providers across East Tennessee.
Every successful transport reflects collaboration, trust, and a shared commitment to patient care — from first contact to definitive care.

🚁 Prepared Before the Call Comes.

Behind every flight is intentional preparation — training, equipment checks, communication, and teamwork — all completed long before the aircraft lifts off.

Readiness isn’t reactive. It’s built every day, on the ground and in the air, so when seconds matter, our crews are ready to deliver critical care without hesitation.
