Baptist Health and Wolfson Children’s hospital, in collaboration with Air Methods, have added a third helicopter to its Life Flight fleet, according to an April 15 news release.
The helicopters are used to transport patients to other medical facilities or to bring emergency medical personnel to those in need.
“Helicopter transport is critical in life-threatening, time-sensitive emergencies, like stroke, heart attack or trauma, where seconds make all the difference,” said Michael A. Mayo, president and CEO of Baptist Health, in the release.
