Nobody likes surprises - especially when it comes to medical bills. 💸

So, let’s clear the air on medical bills. The No Surprises Act federal law protects you from surprise balance bills when transported by air ambulance in an emergency.

Last week, our team had the opportunity to fly a patient to Saint Louis University Hospital and capture a few photos on their beautiful helipad! One of our crew members, however, isn’t quite acclimated to the Midwest fall weather yet — can you spot the Florida pilot? 👀

Hint: He’s the one bundled up like it’s December 🥶

(P.S. We love you, Brian, and appreciate you traveling from the Sunshine State to hang out with us every week! ☀️)

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Flight Nurse Suzie. Our hearts go out to her family, friends, and our colleagues at REACH Air Medical Services during this difficult time. The entire air medical community mourns alongside you and sends our deepest sympathies. ❤️

Our REACH family is devastated to share that Susan “Suzie” Smith has passed away from injuries sustained during the accident involving helicopter N414RX on Highway 50 on Monday night.

We will remember Suzie as a pillar of the EMS and healthcare community who saved countless lives by delivering compassionate care in their darkest hours. Suzie’s 50-year career as a nurse included nearly 21 years with REACH, and we are proud to call her our colleague and friend. We hope she is remembered for the light she brought to every call, every shift, and every patient she blessed with her care.

We grieve Suzie’s loss with her family, friends, colleagues and the entire community that she faithfully served. Her impact will be felt for years to come through the lives she touched, the teams she strengthened, and the compassion she embodied. Thank you for keeping Suzie’s loved ones and our REACH family in your thoughts and support for our team during this difficult time.
