Today, we would like to recognize the men and women who serve in the U.S. military. Armed Forces Day is the perfect opportunity to recognize them for their courage and sacrifice. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to protecting our freedom. From all of us at GMR, we express our deepest gratitude.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Air Evac Lifeteam 179 - London, KY. Just before midnight a tornado had struck their hangar, base, and aircraft. We are thankful that our crews were in a safe place and were unharmed. Our thoughts go out to our Air Evac Family. We also extend our thoughts and prayers to our extended family of PHI Air Medical that was also based at this airport.

We also wish to express our thoughts and prayers here at home. We had devastation just south of our base in our small community of Marion, Illinois. While we were not a direct hit and did not sustain any damage we want our community to know that we are thinking about you and here to help if our help is required. From all of the Air Evac Lifeteam family we are here, we are flying, and we are thinking about you. We hope for a speedy recovery process and clean up times.

🚁🚁Nurses Week 2025🚁🚁

This week we would like to take a moment to recognize our nurses here at Air Evac 35. Our nurses have a combined Nursing experience of over 50+ years between Lenora, Arianne, Logan, and Erika! Our nurses here go above and beyond every single day!

Arianne is our current Base Clincial Lead here at AEL 35. Arianne had been our BCL for the last 8 years and does an outstanding job making sure our crews are up to date in the latest clinical changes and skills! Arianne does a lot of things behind the scenes for our day to day operations. We are forever grateful for her dedication to our patients and base!

Lenora, Logan, and Erika are a true vital part of our base. These 3 nurses go above and beyond in making sure our patient care is always top notch. Rather that be studying for certifications or daily and monthly training. They are always training to make sure they are the best for the patients they encounter.

And last but not least our very own Jessica. Jessica currently a Flight Paramedic and is not currently a nurse but is currently enrolled in a nursing program. Jessica is set to complete her nursing program in December of 2025. We are so proud that she has taken this next step in her career and excited for what the future holds for her and the patients she encounters.

Please take a moment to thank our wonderful nurses on Nurse’s Week 2025! Thier unwavering dedication to our patients and coworkers never go unnoticed!

Today is World Pilots Day, we would like to take a moment to honor our pilots that brave the skies every single day to help us provide ACCESS! Without these talented pilots we would not be able to complete fast and expert critical care services. Our pilots are a vital part to every flight and every patient we encounter. We are excited to honor and appreciate everything they do!


Thank you: Tammie, Mark, Alex, and Brock!🚁

Our hearts go out to ARCH Air Medical! We are praying for a speedy recovery for the ARCH crew and their families!

This evening, at approximately 9 p.m. Central Time, the ARCH 1 crew from Granite City, IL, was involved in an incident as they were departing from a local fire station. All three crew members on board have been transported to local hospitals for evaluation. We continue to support our teammates and are working with the authorities in support of the investigation.

The Air Evac 35 crew and American Medical Response (AMR) had the privilege of reuniting with a former patient, witnessing the lasting impact of their critical care services. This heartening encounter underscores the providers' relentless commitment to exceptional patient care, and we are sincerely thankful for their tireless efforts. Our gratitude also extends to the school nurse and staff for their swift response and exceptional care prior to our arrival. This was a remarkable display of collaborative care!

To the family, we are forever grateful for this opportunity to reunite with you! It was truly a privilege to serve you and this community!

Air Evac Lifeteam is heartbroken to report that three crew members have perished in an incident that occurred on Saturday, January 20. At 11:23 pm local time AEL's Operations Control Center (OCC) lost contact with the aircraft, a Bell 206L3 with call sign N295AE. The crew is based out of Weatherford, OK, and was returning to base after completing a patient care transport in Oklahoma City when the OCC lost contact with them. Nearby AEL teams assisted local law enforcement with the search.

Our primary focus is on supporting the families and our team members. CISM teams have been sent to assist our team members during this time. Please reach out if you would like to speak with them.

At this time, we are not sharing the names of the crew members aboard the flight. We ask that you respect the privacy of our team members and their families, and please do not share their names.

AEL has turned over the scene and investigation to the NTSB.
