    About AirCARE1

    AirCARE1 was started by Denise Waye, who was a flight nurse before becoming the founder and president of AirCARE1. Ms. Waye always loved flying and she also enjoyed caring for patients as a critical care nurse. Although she started out working mostly on the ground in hospital care centers, she eventually landed a job flying as a critical care nurse. As a flight nurse, Ms. Waye found that there were different challenges and unique opportunities than those she encountered on the ground. Flying added another complexity to the issue of patient safety, which is difficult enough in a standard hospital setting. Ms. Waye found that, in the air, patient safety was often uncertain due to the lack of hospital-grade medical equipment and the inherent risks of flying patients with certain conditions. Ms. Waye’s concerns about patient care and safety at her previous company were dismissed, at which point she decided to branch off on her own. That decision led to the founding of AirCARE1.

    Today, AirCARE1 is one of the nation’s – and the world’s – leading medical air transport companies. It is built on the pillars that Ms. Waye believes are the most important, which are patient care, safety, honesty, and trust. AirCARE1 has successfully been in business for well over a decade. During that time, we have earned a reputation for kind and compassionate service that goes above and beyond just flying patients to their next destination. AirCARE1 owns and operates its own fleet of aircraft, which are launched from two bases in the US. Our flight staff undergo rigorous training and ongoing education, which makes our team industry leaders. AirCARE1 also has a flawless safety record, which makes us a chosen provider for many insurance and travel companies.

    Commitment to Patient Safety

    So how, you’re probably wondering, has AirCARE1 maintained its perfect safety record? There are two parts to that answer. One is the sophisticated aircraft used to transport patients to their destinations. The other is the rigorous ongoing training that all flight crew and medical staff undergo. The aircraft that we use here at AirCARE1 are called Learjets. You might have heard of them as the private executive planes that fly business executives to their destinations. But they’re also used for other purposes, including medical transport. AirCARE1 uses Learjets because of their luxurious interior and their ability to fly at higher altitudes than many other aircraft. This ultimately lets our Learjets ride above most air currents that produce turbulent and unstable air. The ride is smoother for passengers, and it’s less dangerous for patients as there’s less bumping and jostling.

    Another reason why flying with AirCARE1 is so safe has to do with the rigor of the staff’s training. Each year, the flight crew and medical staff undergo continuous training. They are therefore at the forefront of industry best practices and safety skills. Along with the crew and staff, the mechanics who service the aircraft are also highly trained. They perform the important task of checking the aircraft before each flight to make sure it’s safe to fly. They do repairs and maintenance when necessary, and they ensure all aircraft are fueled and in prime flight condition.

    Industry-Leading Dual Accreditation

    Another reason why AirCARE1 stands out is through our dual accreditation. The two types of accreditation that AirCARE1 holds are from the industry leading organizations of CAMTS and EURAMI. CAMTS is the acronym for “Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems.” It’s an independent organization based in the US that strives to improve the level of patient care and safety that medical air transport companies provide. A select group of providers receive CAMTS accreditation, and AirCARE1 is proud to be one of these providers. The second accreditation that AirCARE1 holds is EURAMI. EURAMI, which stands for the “European Aeromedical Institute” is a European-based company that recognizes medical transport companies that uphold a high level of patient care and safety. AirCARE1 is proud to be one of only two air ambulance companies in the western hemisphere to have received dual accreditation from these industry leading organizations.

    A Unique Approach Utilizing Holistic Care

    AirCARE1 had developed a unique approach to patient care which involves pairing traditional medical treatment with holistic treatment to improve the patient’s overall health and well being. With options like a hand massage, noise-canceling headphones and aromatherapy, even the most apprehensive patients on an AirCARE1 flight can focus their mind on a positive recovery process.

    Transporting All Types of Patients

    When you fly with AirCARE1, rest assured that there’s no patient who is “too” anything: not too young, elderly, or heavy. AirCARE1 offers special flight services for the most vulnerable and fragile individuals in the population. How is that accomplished? Through specialized medical equipment designed to stabilize, monitor, and support various types of patients. One special group that AirCARE1 works with is neonatal infants. Each neonate air transport flight comes with a skilled team of nurses and physicians to monitor your neonate and attend to all of his or her needs. Also onboard a neonate flight are a NICU incubator and a small NICU monitoring system. Completing the neonate flight’s sophisticated amenities is a fully equipped level 3 NICU unit.

    Moving up the age ladder, the next special group considered is the pediatric population. AirCARE1 recognizes that children do not respond the same to flights as adults do. Changes in air pressure and temperature can have profound effects on children, which are especially magnified in children who are critically ill or injured. Children also have different psychological responses to flying, which requires certain care and evaluation. Before your child leaves for a flight, you’ll speak with the pediatric flight team. They’ll take your child’s age and development level into consideration to prepare a flight plan.

    Another group served by AirCARE 1 is the geriatric population. Elderly patients also respond differently to flights than middle-aged adults. They may become dehydrated, have skin problems, and even encounter breathing and respiratory problems during the flight. AirCARE1’s staff is trained to be aware of all issues that geriatric patients may face, and we are equipped to respond accordingly. You can rest in comfort knowing that in addition to providing leading monitoring and medical care, our geriatric flight staff is also warm, encouraging, and reassuring.

    Bariatric patients are another group accommodated on AirCARE1 flights. With the capacity to hold up to 450 pounds, AirCARE1’s stretchers and fortified loading system ensure that tipping and wobbling are prevented when transporting heavier patients. Extra padding is added to the stretchers of bariatric patients to provide support, and pain medication may be administered to reduce in-flight discomfort. The aircraft used to transport bariatric patients have extra-wide doors, which allows crew members to safely and comfortably load heavier patients.

    Cutting Edge Medical Equipment

    Using air-based medical transportation often comes with risks, as many medical aircraft aren’t equipped with hospital grade equipment. Fortunately, you won’t have that problem with AirCARE1. AirCARE1’s flights are carefully set up with the most modern medical equipment needed to transport even the most vulnerable patients safely to their end destination. High-tech monitoring and critical care equipment is onboard each flight to ensure patients remain safe and comfortable. This includes child and adult monitoring systems, and our own Patient Care System, which retains energy and strength during the flight.

    A Smooth and Comfortable Flight

    Stepping onto one of our immaculate Learjets, you’ll notice an immediate difference from your standard commercial flight. The seats on each aircraft are large and roomy. The cabin is noticeably quieter, and there is plenty of room to spread out and relax. Modern amenities on each flight make flying with AirCARE1 feel like first class. Furthermore, our Learjets fly at higher altitudes than standard medical aircraft, which eliminates bumps and turbulence to create a smooth and stress-free flight.

    Commercial Medical Escort Services

    In some cases, you might need medical attention while traveling, but not enough to warrant a dedicated and private aircraft. This is commonly the case for people who have become injured or ill during their travels, or for people with a pre-existing but non life-threatening medical condition. Elderly travelers also sometimes prefer extra medical attention during their flights. If any of these situations sound familiar, you may be a good candidate for a commercial medical escort. A commercial medical escort provides medical and emotional support during your commercial flight. He or she will take measures like coordinating your travel plans, arranging for medical transport or a private driver to and from the airport, and getting all requisite medical clearance prior to the flight. Your medical escort will also make travel arrangements for family members traveling with you.
