Why should I be a member of an air ambulance service?

As a member of any air ambulance service you choose your membership protects you from the high cost of air ambulance transport if the service you selected is the one called at the time of your emergency. The primary purpose for your membership is to support the selected air ambulance service and local community emergency services. Your membership helps offset the high cost of providing medical air transport to you, your family and friends and helps to purchase equipment and medical supplies. Your membership helps to insure that these services remain available to our area.
