Medical Transportation to Cincinnati Children's Hospital

AirMed serves as the primary fixed wing vendor for the acclaimed Cincinnati Children's Hospital, which provides a wide range of clinical services and pediatric care specialists dedicated to improving the health of children.  Our fixed wing medical aircraft is available to them as they transport young patients from across the United States to their facilities.

Their pediatric urgent care specialists are nationally recognized for medical excellence; U.S. News & World Report ranked Cincinnati Children’s No. 3 in the nation in the magazine’s 2013-2014 list of the best children’s hospitals.

"We appreciate the professionalism displayed by everyone at the AirMed organization. Your attention to even the smallest details during flight operations is invaluable to our teams. As the primary vendor for Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC), AirMed continues to meet and exceed our standards of service,"  a quote from the clinical director CCHMC Transport Program.

The critical-care transport team uses the most up-to-date equipment, including invasive and non-invasive cardio-respiratory monitoring, transport nitric oxide, newborn and pediatric ventilators, emergency medications, chest drainage systems and cervical spine immobilization equipment. 

CCHMC teams train alongside AirMed medical and flight staff on fire safety, water safety, altitude physiology and stressors of flight which provides much needed communication to keep every transport running smoothly.

Emory University Research Group relies on AirMed to cover staff in the field

The main RZHRG laboratory founded by Emory University

The RZHRG Has Depended on AirMed for 8 Years

Since 2005, The Rwanda Zambia HIV Research Group (RZHRG), based at Emory University in Atlanta, has relied on AirMed to provide membership coverage for Dr. Susan Allen and approximately 15 staff members annually.

Dr. Allen has been at the forefront of HIV research in Africa for more than 25 years, and during that time has seen an important need for AirMed to protect herself and her staff members that live and conduct field study in Africa. The foundation of RZHRG research is Couples Voluntary Counseling and Testing, in which a husband and wife are educated about HIV and learn their status together.

Under the direction of Dr. Allen, the RZHRG has proven effective and operates research centers in Lusaka and Ndola Zambia as well as Kigali, Rwanda. Each site conducts HIV Vaccine Research, implements preventative services in government clinics, and operates Centers of Excellence which conduct international training and capacity building activities for health professionals.

AirMed coverage provides RZHRG staff (and their friends and family) peace of mind that the best medical care is always just a phone call away.

“AirMed has been an invaluable component in RZHRG’s international research activities,” said Dr. Susan Allen, the group’s founder.
