HealthNet Aeromedical Services, in partnership with Marshall Health Network and Air Methods Corporation, celebrated its 40th anniversary and dedicated a new stateof-the-art medical helicopter during a special ceremony at Huntington Tri-State Airport.
The organization will serve the Southern West Virginia hospital region from its Base 3 location at Marshall Health Network’ s Cabell Huntington Hospital with the new Airbus H135 helicopter, significantly upgrading the area’ s air medical transport capabilities. Known for its speed, safety and versatility, the Airbus H135 is a modern workhorse of the air medical industry.
“ For 40 years, HealthNet Aeromedical Services has been proud to serve this region with essential critical care transport, and this upgraded aircraft reflects our continued commitment to that legacy,” says HealthNet Aeromedical Services President and CEO Clinton Burley.“ We are grateful to the greater Huntington community for its decades-long support and our lasting partnership with Marshall Health Network to deliver premier air medical transport care to the individuals and families we serve.”
The aircraft’ s medical interior is custom designed for the unique demands of the organization’ s service area. The layout ensures clinicians have the necessary tools and workspace to provide exceptional critical care in the air.
