Denver Health is launching a new partnership that they said will save lives. A bright orange helicopter will now be stationed at Denver Health on the first Thursday of each month. It's one of the aircraft that belongs to Flight for Life, a critical care transport company the hospital said is known for its state-of-the-art fleet and experienced medical teams. Dr. Gene Moore, a surgeon at Denver Health, said traffic can often keep regular ambulances from reaching patients in a timely manner.
Main Idea: Denver Health is teaming up with Flight for Life to place a critical care helicopter at the hospital each month to help move patients faster in emergencies.
Key Points:
Air ambulance service can be expensive, and the added helicopter use may not help people in remote areas every time.
Denver Health and Flight for Life may speed critical care for crash and trauma patients when road traffic slows ground ambulances.
