Today our team had the privilege of visiting Leslie County students to showcase our air medical helicopter and share what we do in the field of emergency medicine.

Students had the chance to step inside the aircraft, see the life-saving equipment we use every day, and learn more about the critical role air medical services play in their community. We enjoyed their enthusiasm, curiosity, and thoughtful questions.

Events like this are a reminder of why we do what we do—educating the next generation and inspiring future healthcare providers, first responders, and pilots. A big thank you to Leslie County High School and Leslie County Area Technology Center for inviting us out and giving us the opportunity to connect with your amazing students🚁🚑
