Huge shout out to ⭐ Life Flight Network ⭐and ⭐ UPMC | Center for Emergency Medicine | STAT MedEvac ⭐as initial Safety Circle Champions who have committed to support our safety efforts, including underwriting the Safety Congress that took place earlier this week. We applaud these early efforts! 👏

Yesterday, leaders from the Association of Air Medical Services, the Association of Critical Care Transport, the Air Medical Operators Association and Vertical Aviation International came together in Chicago for a safety congress focused on one shared priority: advancing safety across air medical transport.

Designed as a working, peer-driven forum, the day emphasized open dialogue, shared risks, and practical solutions, bringing hospital-based and operational leaders together to align efforts and identify next steps.

From building a unified safety roadmap to sharing organizational initiatives and identifying priorities, the message was clear - progress happens, together.

This is just the beginning. More to come as we continue this joint effort to strengthen safety across our community.

⏳The Vitals Foundation for Medical Transport Professionals is extending the deadline for SMTA scholarship submissions through end of day Friday! Step up. Lead safer systems.
