Visitors are encouraged to comment on our page — that’s part of why we’re here, to facilitate conversation about your health and the health resources available here in Northern Arizona Healthcare. We may not respond to every comment, particularly those that may impact patient confidentiality or privacy. We expect a basic level of civility; disagreements are fine, but mutual respect is a must, and profanity or abusive language are out-of-bounds. Posts that are off-topic, solicitations, HR matters, or posts clearly promoting a commercial product generally won’t last long. Please note this policy also applies to all of our other social media presences (our blogs, YouTube, Twitter, Google+, etc.). Our social media platforms are to be used for informational purposes only. What you read is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. You should always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you have about a medical condition. We reserve the right to make adjustments to this policy as needed, but hopefully we won’t need to intervene too much. That’s decidedly not the point of social media — right? We reserve the right to remove posts advertising commercial products, as well as those that violate Facebook's terms of service, or are inaccurate or otherwise objectionable

Relevant comments or "like" votes on previously published posts are always welcome. For current patients:
Your comfort, safety and satisfaction are important to us. We encourage you to speak to the nurse in charge of your unit about any concerns you may have about your room, food, or the care you are receiving.

Today marks 30 years since the devastating Guardian Air king air crash north of Flagstaff, AZ. Stephen Tilley, Karen Peebles, and Laura Parada all lost their lives on this day.

The memory of this team remains etched in the framework of who Guardian Air is today and we will continue to honor their memory by keeping safety at the forefront of all we do.

Rest in peace❤️

Our team would also like to thank a very special Flagstaff neighbor, Dave Elrod, who brought out cookies and hot chocolate to the crew!

Great teamwork from everyone involved! 💪🏻

Thank you Sedona Fire.

Earlier today, Sedona Fire crews from Station 3 were dispatched to assist an ill mountain biker experiencing a medical emergency in a remote backcountry location.

Due to the patient’s condition and difficult access, Guardian Medical Helicopter was requested as an additional resource. Working together, ground and air crews were able to safely access the patient, provide immediate medical care, and complete a coordinated extrication back to the helicopter. The patient was then flown to a local area hospital for continued treatment and assessment.

Sedona Fire would like to thank Guardian Medical Helicopter and our regional partners for their rapid response, professionalism, and continued strong working relationship. Incidents like this highlight the importance of teamwork when minutes matter—especially in challenging terrain.
