After completing a transfer from Hawera Hospital to Taranaki Base, our crew got to put the new coffee machine to good use. A big thank you to Chris Ogle for the generous donation!

A hot coffee and a comfortable recliner, two small things that make a big difference after a busy day of flying.

Thanks again Chris 💛

Your Taranaki Rescue Helicopter was kept busy with back-to-back flights overnight ☾

The first was a STEMI transfer from Taranaki Base, followed by a flight to Hawera for a patient involved in an accident.

Both patients were transported to Waikato Hospital for the urgent care they required 💛

Here’s a look at what your Taranaki Rescue Helicopter was up to throughout July!

From patient transfers to urgent responses, our crew were on the move across Taranaki and beyond, helping patients get the care they needed 💛

Your support helps make this all possible, thank you!

On Monday, your Taranaki Rescue Helicopter crew were called to Taumarunui to assist a patient having a cardiac event.

The crew were thankful to see the weather begin to clear as they came into Taumarunui, so they didn’t have too much cloud to navigate on the way down to the hospital helipad.

The patient was delivered to Waikato Hospital and the crew returned back to base.

You’ve gotta love the NZ weather! 🌥️

Hey, where’s the logo?! 🤔

Our beloved buzzy bee HES is currently in for its scheduled maintenance, meaning HEP is flying the skies (for now)!

It’s all part of upholding our commitment to you, our community. 🚁💛

We made a quick flight to Hāwera last night to medevac a patient back to Taranaki Base.
