MercyOne Clinton debuts new Air Med helicopter service

MercyOne Clinton debuted its new helicopter service

Air Med services are now available from MercyOne Clinton Medical Center. Additionally, a new patient transportation shuttle service designed to enhance access to care throughout the region has been launched. According to a release from MercyOne:

The addition of Air Med 4 strengthens emergency response capabilities for Clinton and surrounding communities, providing rapid transport for patients requiring specialized or critical care. The service is an important investment in improving access to lifesaving care when time is most critical.

MercyOne is excited to partner with Air Methods, a nationally-recognized leader in air medical transportation, to bring this service to Clinton. Together, Air Methods and MercyOne combine aviation expertise, industry-leading safety standards, and clinical excellence to serve patients and communities across the region.

Air Med 4 is fully staffed by MercyOne colleagues, ensuring patients receive the same high level of compassionate, patient-centered care in the air that they have come to trust on the ground.

“Air Med 4 is more than a helicopter. It is a promise,” Adam Haut, director of MercyOne Emergency Medical Services, said. “A promise that when our neighbors need us most, we are ready. We are investing in their safety, their health and their future.”

MercyOne serves Iowa communities through its four-base air medical program, with locations in Clinton, Des Moines, Knoxville and Mason City.
