With a flight radius of 1,200 miles, HealthNet's critical care services are available to patients far from the borders of West Virginia. Jet service is also available for patients anywhere in North America. The helicopters and airplane are specially equipped to manage a wide variety of patient conditions. Since the aircraft and crews respond to such a diverse patient population, it is necessary to carry some equipment that would be found on a ground-based ambulance and some that one would find in an intensive care unit. The flight team constantly evaluates industry trends in patient care to assure that the equipment carried is appropriate for our patient population.
New equipment is used on a trial basis and if deemed necessary, is purchased for use.
This affords our patients the latest in medical equipment and technological advances.
