🚨 EXCITING NEWS FOR AIRCARE 🚨

AirCare is proud to announce that we have successfully launched ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) transports.

This advancement represents a major step forward in our mission to provide the highest level of critical care for patients in our region. ECMO serves as a lifesaving therapy for individuals experiencing severe cardiac or respiratory failure by temporarily taking over the function of the heart and lungs, allowing time for healing and recovery.

By adding ground ECMO transport capability, our teams can now deliver this advanced level of care safely and efficiently, ensuring that patients receive the support they need when every second counts.

We are grateful to our skilled clinicians, transport teams, and hospital partners who made this milestone possible. Together, we continue to expand access to life-saving therapies for the communities we serve.

The attached pictures are from a recent training exercise at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist High Point Medical Center with the Cardiology Department simulating an ECMO Transfer.

Huge congratulations to Colton Sobolewski (pictured right) for representing our team at the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) Conference!

Colton delivered an oral presentation on his research, “Resource Use When Psychiatric Patients are Treated by Community Paramedics in a Prehospital Setting.” His talk highlighted an important shift in care: directing psychiatric patients to behavior health urgent care centers rather than automatically to the ED — and how this approach can potentially save valuable resources while improving patient care.

Also, a congratulations to Colton on becoming a base educator!

Proud to see our team members work being shared on such a big stage, and grateful for Colton’s dedication!
