North Colorado Med Evac celebrates 30 years of service

摘要

In the heart of rural America is the sleepy agricultural city of Greeley, Colorado. That is where you will find the home base for North Colorado Med Evac air medical transport service. For 30 years and 20,000+ safe transports, the citizens of the community have depended on the Med Evac flight program to bring state-of-the-art medicine to them in their hour of need, and for 30 consecutive safe years Med Evac has done exactly that! North Colorado Med Evac originated as Airlife of Greeley on July 1, 1982, with Air Methods as the vendor, flying a Bell 206 LI helicopter. AirLife was a pioneer program in the country and only the second program established in Colorado. During the first year of service, the program flew 133 missions and was well on its way to establishing the safe, professional, and friendly service that customers have come to love and expect. Terry York, the original mechanic for that first aircraft, still remains the mechanic of the Med Evac 1 base helicopter. The program attributes much of its safe history to the vigilance of such mechanics.
