UW Med Flight is dedicated to serving the public as an aero-medical extension of the UW Health system. We are available 24 hours a day, every day, to provide care and transport to critically ill or injured patients from a 250-mile radius in Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota.

 

Established in 1985, UW Med Flight has been providing expert medical care for nearly 30 years, logging close to 25,000 flights as one of only a few air medical services in the country with a physician on board.

Missions

 

Our missions are as varied as the services available at UW Health. UW Med Flight supports EMS providers with the evacuation of critically-injured patients from accident sites to the UW Hospital's Level One Trauma Center. We also assist in the transfer of patients to UW Health's award-winning Cardiac Health Center, Burn Center, and deliver organs or organ recipients for UW Health's Transplant program. In addition, UW Med Flight provides transportation for regional neonatal transport teams.

Medical providers across the region trust UW Med Flight to deliver safe, effective and expert air medical care. We work hard to ensure that each and every patient is not only able to survive, but thrive.
