About AirCARE1
AirCARE1 President and Founder, Denise Waye, started out as a critical care nurse, but her love of flying encouraged her to evolve her career into becoming a flight nurse. Gaining first hand experience as a flight nurse, Denise began to realize that the levels of patient care in the industry could be improved. She felt personnel needed more intensive training into both the healthcare and flight aspects of the service, so safety could be enhanced for patients and caregivers. After numerous efforts to improve the company where she worked as a flight nurse with little progress, Denise decided to launch her own company to provide a higher level of patient care. Today, AirCARE1 has grown to become one of the most trusted names in medical air transport services.
Our Commitment to Safety
At AirCARE1, safety is the top priority of our entire team and we continue to demonstrate our commitment to safety with a perfect safety record over our last decade plus in operation. Our standard flight crews include two ATP Certified pilots. Every pilot we hire has logged a minimum of 3,000 hours in the air and required to complete annual training at one of the top flight schools in the nation.
We’ve chosen to invest in ongoing employee training and continuing education to ensure we offer a superb level of patient safety and care. Our medical personnel undergo both annual and monthly training programs to maintain their skills in a high state of readiness. If one of our patients experiences a medical crisis in the air, you can rely on us to react appropriately and rapidly.
The Value of Dual Accreditation
Most air ambulance services today have not achieved dual accreditation by both EURAMI (the European Aeromedical Institute) and CAMTS (the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems); these are the two leading air ambulance accreditation bodies in our industry. At AirCARE1, we are proud to announce that we have received dual accreditation from both of these organizations. Why does this distinction matter? As a dually accredited medical transport provider, we must adhere to the highest level flight safety, patient care and operational protocol in the industry. Furthermore, we complete rigorous re-accreditation processes every three years to maintain both accreditations.
Our staff meets, and exceeds, the level of training and preparedness maintained by the majority of air ambulance providers. Our willingness to seek dual accreditation testifies to our commitment to furnishing a superior level of patient care. It ensures that you and your loved ones will benefit from capable and responsive medical assistance during transport.
Our Focus on Holistic Care
Today, holistic care represents a state-of-the-art trend in medicine. Scientists now realize stress causes the body to produce substances with specific, measurable physiological effects on heart rate, respiration, and blood circulation. Many of these changes do not serve the best interest of a patient during an air ambulance flight.
Consequently, our medical crews seek to ease patient anxiety to the fullest extent possible by incorporating holistic treatments into our patient care plans. Our personnel understand some people fear air travel even under the best of circumstances. We take every reasonable measure to enhance patient peace of mind and comfort levels during a journey to or from a medical facility or a care setting. We want patients and their traveling companions to relax and experience as pleasant a flight as possible. You can rely on our expert team to provide friendly, attentive care throughout the course of the trip. Some of the holistic practices we utilize are:
- Noise canceling headphones with therapeutic music
- Hand massages to reduce stress and improve circulation
- Relaxing aromatherapy to help calm patient nerves
Serving Patients With a Variety of Illnesses & Injuries
AirCARE1 transports patients suffering from a wide variety of medical conditions. Do you require help relaying an ailing elderly relative from a long term care facility to a specialist’s office in another state? Or do you need assistance transporting a premature infant from a critical care center to a medical facility located closer to your home? Perhaps your family members suffered a traumatic accident during a vacation, and you need an air ambulance to transport them to a rehabilitation hospital? Or maybe you must relocate a recuperating hospital patient from a area which has recently sustained a natural disaster to a less crowded care setting located in another country?
We offer an excellent resource for anyone seeking air ambulance transport services to or from the Greater Lubbock Area. We routinely assist ill and injured patients and enable them to reach the specialized medical care they need. Our extensive training and our excellent on board care resources allow us to transport patients afflicted with a wide variety of health conditions and medical problems. To discover whether we can accommodate you or your loved one based on your unique condition, simply contact us to speak with one of our medical transportation experts.
State-of-the-Art Medical Equipment
You can count on our dedicated team to assist you or your loved one throughout the course of the flight. We’ve invested in cutting edge medical support and monitoring equipment. For example, AirCARE1 employs a “Lifeport Patient Care System” to ensure we provide the most comfortable and safest flight while being able to regularly assess and evaluate the physical condition of patients with accuracy.
Additionally, we use aircraft equipped with essential medical technologies, including monitors, automated fluid pumps, and ventilators. We also possess the supplies required to assist us in performing CPR, if necessary, in flight. At AirCARE1, we care about the condition of our patients during every stage of their journey and ensure they are being treated with only high grade equipment and supplies.
Experience a Smooth and Comfortable Flight
We meticulously maintain our fleet of Learjets at AirCARE1 to ensure our aircraft supply reliable transportation to and from the Lubbock area. Since we fly to destinations both across the country and internationally, we seek to minimize refueling stops to provide a faster and safer flight. Our flight crews routinely utilize both the Learjet 35A and the Learjet 36A aircraft for medical transportation. The cabins of these aircraft supply sufficient room to accommodate patients, necessary support personnel and the proper medical equipment. When you select AirCARE1 as your air ambulance provider, you’ll gain peace of mind knowing you’ve selected a company which has invested in fast, superbly engineered aircrafts.
An Alternative: Our Commercial Medical Escort Service
If your patient does not require a private air ambulance, but would benefit from the presence of a medically trained escort, AirCARE1 does offer a competitively priced commercial medical escort service. In some situations, individuals who do not require constant medical monitoring services during a flight benefit from the care furnished by a medically trained escort who will accompany the patient on a commercial flight. This service frequently supplies family members with greater peace of mind. For example, perhaps an elderly person suffers from occasional bouts of mental confusion, and you’d like a qualified, responsible person to accompany this patient on a series of flight transfers during an international holiday? Or maybe you seek a specialist to help escort a newly adopted child with medical complications from an orphanage overseas to your home in Lubbock? Perhaps you or a loved one sustained an injury during a visit to North Texas and now need medical assistance on your flight back home?
Our excellent commercial medical escort service provides a way to assist patients who have received medical permission to board a commercial flight, yet who still may benefit from the presence of a medically trained escort. To speak with one of our medical transportation experts and learn more about our commercial medical escort service, contact us today.
