AnMed Health LifeFlight is a agreement between AnMed Health and Med-Trans to provide helicopter service to the Medical Center. Air travel turns a 35-minute drive into a 10-minute flight, allowing patients to receive life-saving care even faster. 

Improving cardiac care
Every minute of a heart attack is a minute your heart goes without oxygen. The faster doctors can restore oxygen flow to your heart, the better the chances are that they can decrease permanent damage.

As soon as physicians diagnose a heart attack, LifeFlight is notified and nurses start preparing the patient for transport. According to the American College of Cardiology, the optimal door-to-balloon time - the time from your arrival at the emergency room to doctors opening your arteries - is 90 minutes or less. From most hospitals in northeast Georgia, patients could be on the helicopter within 40 minutes and into AnMed Health's heart catherization lab in about an hour.

Meet the LifeFlight crew
Caring for patients in the air are critical care flight nurses and specially trained flight paramedics. LifeFlight's pilots have thousands of hours of experience and possess Class II Medical Certificates and Commercial Helicopter / Instrument Ratings. The third part of the LifeFlight team is the flight coordinator. Flight coordinators are licensed EMTs with at least two years experience. They are responsible for processing flight requests, initiating missions and providing flight following for the aircraft.

About the aircraft
LifeFlight uses a Bell 407. With a top speed of 160 miles per hour, the Bell 407 is one of the most popular EMS helicopters in the industry.
