Because critical illness or injury can strike anyone at any time - or anywhere - a locally based Life Flight helicopter will greatly speed the delivery of lifesaving care. From those in the sunset of their lives to tiny newborns just opening their eyes for the first time, everyone will benefit because time saved means lives saved - giving the best chance for survival, recovery and a healthy future.
A Life Flight helicopter stationed at Dixie Regional Medical Center will:
- Reduce response and transport time of critically ill or injured
- Provide rescue in remote areas not accessible to fixed wing aircraft
- Eliminate the need for access to airport facilities for transport, saving 30 minutes or more
- Provide the best chance of survival and recovery because care is delivered in flight and on site, regardless of location
- The overall level of care and quality of life are enhanced for both adults and children throughout Southern Utah and the surrounding area
