We were lucky enough to start our Valentine’s morning with our sweet friends from iCare ambulance service in Fort Collins! Shout out to James from iCare for always being in a fabulous mood and being a pleasant, welcoming committee for us and our patients.

We hope you all have a fun, safe day with your loved ones!

Hemingford Volunteer Fire Department (VFD) is one of our local EMS departments with whom we have the pleasure of working. They recently received two new monitors that will help them continue providing much needed rescue services to area residents and people passing through who are ill or injured. This happened with the assistance of donations contributed in memory of a dear community friend, Pat Manning. Thanks to gracious memorials in Pat’s name, vital tools were purchased to help others in need. God bless you, Pat! Congratulations Hemingford VFD on the beautiful new monitors, and thank you for including Air Link in the care of your critically ill, injured, and time-sensitive patients.

Volunteer rescue units and fire departments are a crucial resource in western Nebraska and we are so appreciative for all of these selfless and hardworking individuals.

We would like to extend a big shoutout to the West Nebraska Blood Center team who recently traveled to Gordon for a mobile blood drive at Gordon Memorial Hospital. We appreciate all you do to help ensure we have life-saving blood available on our aircraft to administer to our patients. Thank you to everyone who took time to donate blood that will stay in the local area!

From 1995 to 2025, the Air Link program at Regional West has been honored to serve our surrounding communities. This milestone isn’t just about the miles flown; it’s about the lives touched and the trust you’ve placed in us for three decades. We recently had an incredible time celebrating our 30th anniversary with the heartbeat of our operation – our crew! It was truly special having both current team members and “alumni” from the last 30 years together in one room, including three original crew members: Dee Vogel, Darrel Lewis, and Mike Belgum.

From those who paved the way in the 90s to those on call today, the dedication to excellence remains the same. Thank you for being part of our journey. Here’s to the next 30 years of service!

Fun fact: Air Link’s first flight was Nov. 7, 1995, just 10 minutes after completing all mandatory training to “technically” go-live on Nov. 8. Training was complete, so the crew seized the opportunity and took the call!
