Air Medical Flight Program Coming to Western ND

| 12/12/2012

Starting this spring, a dedicated medical helicopter flight program will be in place in the western part of North Dakota. Med-Trans Corporation announced today that they will launch the program in April of next year. They say it will support and assist first responders, hospitals and law enforcement with patients that are critically ill or injured.

"With the population growth that Western North Dakota and Eastern Montana has been experiencing these past few years, regionalized placement of this aircraft closer in proximity to the patients and agencies it will serve was a must," explains Tom Rohlfs, VP of Business Development for Med-Trans.

"The agreement with Med-Trans is another example of St Joseph`s and CHI`s continued Healthcare leadership and commitment to Dickinson and all of Southwestern North Dakota," said Reed Reyman, President and CEO, St. Joseph`s Hospital and Health Center.

Med-Trans will operate from St. Joseph`s Hospital in Dickinson.
