About this organization
Mission
Improving access to care by providing critical care air transport services.
About
Based in Traverse City, Michigan, a North Flight Aero Med team, operated by Spectrum Health Hospitals, can be airborne within minutes to transport a patient from an emergency scene or to transfer them between medical facilities. The King Air B200 airplane, operated by North Flight EMS, can transport patients anywhere within the continental United States. The primary response teams include pilots, registered nurses and flight paramedics who specialize in transporting and treating critically ill and injured patients. All team members are certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), pediatric (PALS), neonatal (NRP), and trauma care. The joint venture partners of North Flight Aero Med have been accredited for critical care air transportation by the Commission on the Accreditation of Medical Transport System (CAMTS). This means that the highest standards in both the medical and aviation industries have been met. North Flight Aero Med ("NFAM") is a joint venture between two charitable IRC 501(C)(3) health care organizations (Spectrum Health Hospitals and North Flight, Inc.) who have come together to provide critical care air transport services to provide increased access to care in the northern lower peninsula and upper peninsula of Michigan. The geographic area in which NFAM provides services is predominantly rural, with many residents who are located more than 30 minutes away from any hospital. NFAM provides a service whereby persons requiring emergency medical treatment in this geographic area can be transported to the nearest appropriate medical facility as quickly as possible and is the only provider of critical care air transport services in northern lower Michigan. The services are available to all persons in need of such services, regardless of the patient's ability to pay for such service.
