Aeromed crew loads a stretcher into the village air ambulance.
A few years ago YKHC decided to get into the medevac business in a big way with the purchase of Aeromed International from F.S. Air and a huge capital investment in equipment and personnel. YKHC's Aeromed International has become the premier air ambulance service in Alaska, and second only to the Anchorage Fire Dept. in terms of total patient transports in Alaska. Hageland Aviation is the primary contractor and provides a Cessna 208 Caravan and a Piper PA31 Navaho. Last September the Bethel Paramedics set a new record of 62 medevacs in the YK Delta in one month. Blackhawk helicopter to transport them.
