Holistic Care Mission Statement
Our Focus on Holistic Care
“Do what is right for our patient at all times as we transport them with exceptional care equal to or better than the best premiere medical facility.”
So reads the mission statement of our company. The patient is our focus at all times, from the first contact to the moment we ensure they have arrived safely at the destination hospital. At AirCARE1, we understand that often families are in distress when they contact us, and they rely on us to provide the little things that will ease their anxiety before, during and after the flight.

They can become frightened or confused more easily, and may not know what is happening to them during an air ambulance flight. Our medical staff can recognize the issue and reassure individuals with neurocognitive disorders during flights.
Additionally, older patients also have different medical needs than adults. They typically require more in-flight oxygen and have routine medications which must be administered. Frail elderly typically bruise easily, and there can be jostling during a flight.
