Air Life of Oregon began service to Central and Eastern Oregon in August of 1985. Since that time Air Life has flown over 1100 patients; about half of the patients are transported between hospitals; with the other half being helicopter response to accident scefles. Air Life provides air ambulance tran sp o rt service with both helicopter and airplane. Both aircraft are dedicated to aeromedical use and are licensed as advanced life support air ambulances. Airline transport certified pilots and registered nurses with advanced training in trauma, heart and perinatal care (for mothers and babies) are available 24 hours every day. The Air Life membership plan, available to residents and visitors to Air Life’s service area, costs $40 per year for individuals or all members of an immediate family. Vem Bartley, program manager of Air Life, said the membership plan offers several benefits. ‘‘When an Air Life member becomes an Air Life patient due to a critical illness or injury, Air Life bills their in surance company for payment and accepts that payment as payment in full. The member s deductible is paid in full by their Air Life membership.” There are now over 7000 Air Life members. Their investment in Air Lite has made it possible for us to “ balance our budget," according tc Bartley, “ as well as make service improvements such as the Bell 222 UT helicopter which was brought on line in December 1989. This new helicopter can accommodate two pa tients and three medical caregivers, and, because of its twin-engine capability can reach the distant ser vice area of Central and Eastern Oregon more quickly.” Individuals or businesses with questions about Air Life service or m em bership can call 1-800-522-2828 during business hours.
