Trained professionals can then begin treatment right away, even before you reach the hospital. Should you need more advanced care after the emergency room, we may transfer you to another facility, either by an ambulance service or by air.
The CareFlight team of highly trained flight nurses, paramedics, neonatal nurse practitioners, neonatal intensive care nurses, obstetrical nurses, and respiratory therapists provide critical care to adults, children and newborns.
