Another day, another life impacted.

We’re proud to partner with AMR to complete our patients’ journeys. Our ALNW crews remain with the patient through every leg of transport—by helicopter, airplane, and ambulance—until they reach the bedside at their final destination.

Airlift Northwest is proud to support UW Medicine’s mission of improving community health—one way we do that is through education. Last week, we hosted free training seminars for EMS and hospital partners in Spokane County and Port Angeles. Teamwork in action!

Access to critical care shouldn't depend on your zip code. On National Rural Health Day, we recognize the importance of fast, reliable medical transport for rural America. ALNW is proud to bring critical care to the patients who need it most, no matter where they are.
