Behind every flight is a commitment to constant learning! ✈️🚁🩺

Last week, our education team and clinical preceptors spent several days at the TRIA Institute Surgical Skills Lab reviewing and refining how we teach and validate some of the most advanced interventions our teams perform. From hands-on skills lab time to in-depth reviews of best practices for transporting patients with cardiac support devices like VADs, Impellas, and intra-aortic balloon pumps, this work ensures our teams are ready for what tomorrow’s patients may need.

It’s just one example of how Life Link III continues to invest in high-level training, collaboration, and innovation—so our crews can deliver exceptional care when it matters most.
