so instead of "mercy air" which is California, It's lifenet for NYS and PA? Kind of like a local name for them?@NysEms2117 it sounds like an Air Methods community-based program for your region. If you were to go to the Air Methods website you would find it's one of many throughout the country.
In my state/ region it's Mercy Air (California and Nevada). There are a multitude of bases similar to this offered by their parent company--Air Methods--throughout the nation.
Exactly. The uniforms are the same, patches may say something different, but whenever we get an OT pilot regardless of their region, or a backup ship it has the standard Air Methods scheme, and/ or flight suit.so instead of "mercy air" which is California, It's lifenet for NYS and PA?

understood sir, thank you!Exactly. The uniforms are the same, patches may say something different, but whenever we get an OT pilot regardless of their region, or a backup ship it has the standard Air Methods scheme, and/ or flight suit.
In a lot of ways it parallels private (ground) EMS.
TBCH, @Chase and/ or @SandpitMedic could probably break it down further. Our base merely utilizes them as our vendor. We (the med crew) aren't tied to Air Methods per se.understood sir, thank you!
Thats how our flight service is. They are a vendor and supply pilots. The hospital supplies the med crews.TBCH, @Chase and/ or @SandpitMedic could probably break it down further. Our base merely utilizes them as our vendor. We (the med crew) aren't tied to Air Methods per se.
Hence the name "hospital-based". There are a few differences aside from that. TMK, we're considered a hospital-based program in spite of being a private EMS company. I believe billing and what not also plays a part.Thats how our flight service is. They are a vendor and supply pilots. The hospital supplies the med crews.
