🚁 Quarterly sim lab with our friends from LifeStar 1 and LifeStar 2!

We first completed some chart reviews and case discussion followed by two patient scenarios:
👶 Pediatric anaphylaxis
❤️ Cardiogenic shock requiring pacing

Always learning, always sharpening the skills that matter most for the communities we serve.

➡️ Which scenario do you think would be the toughest to manage in the field?

⏰ Daylight Saving Time Reminder ⏰
Don’t forget to set your clocks forward tonight… which means we all lose an hour of sleep.

For most people: mild inconvenience.
For night shift crews: a personal attack.

To everyone working tonight..may your coffee be strong and your calls be calm. 🚁☕

🚁 Help us celebrate Women in Aviation this week!

Strong. Skilled. Mission-focused.

From the cockpit to the patient’s side, women play a vital role in every flight. Their expertise, dedication, and compassion help ensure our crews are ready when seconds matter most.

Today we recognize the women who continue to lead, innovate, and save lives in aviation.

There are so many other women un-pictured that serve along side of us on our HROB and NICU teams that we would like to recognize as well!

We’re proud to have them on our team.

Excellent teamwork on a multi patient scene this morning in Atchison County with crews from Life Star 1, Health Star One, and Atchison County EMS.

Coordinating multiple aircraft on a scene can be complex and dangerous but we’re grateful for the excellent communication with Atchison County Rescue as well as patient care/handoff by the ground EMS crews.

Interested in setting up a landing zone class for your local department? Send us a message!

HealthSTAR One team Christmas party for crew members, their families and coworker’s at Bamboo Penny’s. Good food and fun times!

Incredible to meet one of our former resilient patients that our team flew a few years ago! He spoke at our Christmas party last night and we couldn’t be happier to have been in the right place at the right time! Cheers, young man!

Also, thank you to the HCA Maternal and NICU team members and your families for joining us at the party!!

What an incredible team!

We’re dreaming of sunny days on this dreary weekend. Check out this photo captured by one of our flight medics a couple weeks ago on the pad at Stormont Vail with our sister service, HealthStar One.

We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Labor Day weekend!
