🎄Spreading a little holiday cheer around our communities🎄

This week, we had the opportunity to visit some of our local 911 dispatch centers, law enforcement agencies, and hospitals to deliver custom Christmas cookies as a small thank-you for all they do.

We’re incredibly grateful to the teams who trust Saints Flight when their community members need critical care. Your calls, coordination, and teamwork make a real difference every single day.

A huge thank-you to Flour Power for helping bring this idea to life — the cookies were a hit! 🍪🎄

Wishing everyone a safe, joyful, and peaceful holiday season. 🚁💙

Please help us welcome our new pilot, Ian! 🎉🚁

Ian comes to us from the sunny state of Florida ☀️ and got one heck of a welcome to the Midwest with subzero temperatures. He spent the day flying with lead pilot Marc, working on area familiarization around Decatur, Springfield, and St. Louis — and even got his first patient flight under his belt. We’re glad to have him joining the Saints Flight team! 💙

This Thanksgiving, we give thanks for the opportunity to serve. We’re grateful for the trust our communities place in us every day. From our flight crews to dispatchers and support staff, we’re honored to stand ready 24/7, 365 days a year. 🦃

Today, and every day, we also give thanks to our partners in EMS, fire, law enforcement, and hospital systems across the state. It’s a privilege to work alongside such dedicated professionals. 🍁

We wish everyone a safe, healthy, and happy Thanksgiving. And to those on shift today, thank you for answering the call. 🧡

Yesterday, Heather and Tristen met with Millikin University nursing students during their clinical rotation at HSHS St. John’s to talk about careers in flight nursing. The students asked great questions, explored our critical-care equipment, and grabbed some photos with the helicopter. We’re grateful for their curiosity, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn more about what we do! 🚁🏥
