Today our crew was excited to join our partners at Northern Cochise Community Hospital for OB emergency training provided by the Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Association (AzHHA), through a grant from the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS). Topics and scenarios included Post Partum Hemorrhage, Pre-Eclampsia, Eclampsia, and Maternal Code. Laerdal Medical provided the lifelike high-tech mannequin and instructors. We're always grateful for opportunities to participate in continuing education while working towards the goal of Answering the Call. :)

September 11 is a day of remembrance and a national day of service. It’s a time when we honor ordinary Americans who performed extraordinary acts of courage. While our teams across the nation provide unwavering care to their communities every day, we take this moment to recognize what truly unites us – one mission, one team, answering the call to save lives.

🚁 Landing zones save lives.

When every second counts in an air medical emergency, a safe, secure landing zone ensures our pilots can get patients where they need to go—fast. Clear terrain, good communication, and awareness of hazards like wires or loose debris are key to safe landings.

Our Air Methods team has compiled essential tips for first responders on setting up and securing landing zones. Because safety on the ground means safety in the air.

Want to set up a Landing Zone class for your department or agency? Reach out and let's get it scheduled!

Lots of face time with the Fry Fire District crews this past week with an airway lab and a fly in. :) Always a great day when we get to hang with our local crews! Check out our super awesome Base Outreach Coordinator and lead instructor, Joe "I've never met water taller than me" McKearney, leading the charge!
