Happy Critical Care Transport Nurses Day! 🚑🚁🩺
Today, February 18th, we celebrate the incredible dedication and expertise of all critical care nurses, especially our outstanding AHN LifeFlight Flight Nurses and Critical Care Team Nurses.
Every single day, you embody incredible resilience, unparalleled expertise, and deep compassion. You deliver life-saving care in the most critical moments, whether high above the ground in our helicopters or on the front lines in our critical care trucks. Your ability to think quickly, act decisively, and provide comfort under immense pressure is truly remarkable and makes a tangible difference in countless lives.
Today holds special significance as it marks the graduation of the first class of flight nurses in 1943. These trailblazers pioneered the field of transport nursing, and their legacy lives on in the exceptional, advanced care provided by our teams today.
Thank you for your unwavering commitment, tireless dedication, and for being true healthcare heroes. We are incredibly proud of each and every one of you!

Huge congratulations to our very own Managers Pete Hough and Wes Semple for their impactful week at the Association of Air Medical Services (AAMS) LIFT Institute! 🚁
This incredible program helps medical transport leaders nationwide prepare for critical incidents and build resilience. We're especially proud that Wes serves as a Regent, faculty member, and heads up the Capstone program for LIFT. Pete, an alumnus of the inaugural 2024 LIFT program, returned for LIFT 2.0 this year, contributing as faculty to educate colleagues on real-life applications.
Their dedication to advancing medical transport safety and leadership is truly inspiring!
