Happy Nurses Week to our incredible nurses here at Lifestar. 🚁💉❤️

The ones who can manage chaos, keep patients alive, crack a joke in the middle of a disaster, survive on caffeine and EMS room snacks, and still show up ready to do it all over again the next shift.

This crew is something special. The teamwork, the dark humor, the hard training, the long nights, the trust we have in each other, and the way everyone always steps up when it matters most — that’s what makes this place feel like family.

Thank you for the hard work, the grit, the compassion, and for being the kind of people anyone would want beside them on the worst day of their life. Proud to work alongside every one of you.

Happy Nurses Week to the best crew around. 🚁🤍🩺💉 Liesl, Renee, Anthony, Sean, Haley, Bridget, & Brent.

(Enjoy some of the throwback pics to when the crew first graduated nursing, or their first day into their flying career. Aka before all the wrinkles & stress. Just kidding .. only the finest photos, clearly we all age like fine wine. 😊 With time only comes more experience and wisdom, and clearly this crew has a mad passion for what we do)

Day or night, 24/7, our crew stands ready—prepared to answer the call, deliver critical care, and make a difference when every second counts. Together our teamwork brings the care, skill, & urgency when it matters most. 🚁🩺🩸

Today is World Pilots Day 🚁✈️ and we honor and want to thank these wonderful pilots for all that they do… Each and every day! Today we want to shout-it-out and celebrate our amazing pilots who are the backbone of our life-saving missions. Their skill, dedication and courage make care possible when it matters most. We see the judgment, the calm, and the consistency you bring to every mission, and it never goes unnoticed. But just as important, we appreciate who you are as teammates—the conversations between calls, the support on the tough ones, and the way you always have our backs. We’re proud to fly with you, and feel safe doing so. No mission is done alone. SHAUN, RYAN, KURT, & SARA…. Thank You! To the best team we have.. couldn’t ask for anyone better to put up with us med crew and listen to us blabber all day 😉 Thanks for taking care of us, so we can take care of them. 💜🩵🚁👩🏼‍✈️👨🏼‍✈️

As we wrap up Women in Aviation Week, we’re excited to welcome our newest pilot, Sara! Welcome to LifeStar!

While Sara isn’t new to flying, her hard work and determination has earned her a seat in the cockpit, and we couldn’t be more proud to have her on the team!!

Here’s to the women breaking barriers, chasing the horizon, and inspiring the next generation of aviators. Welcome Sara! We’re lucky to have you! 🚁👩🏼‍✈️

Women in Aviation Week feels like the perfect time to remind everyone…

Yes, this is an all-female air ambulance crew.
Yes, they can fly the aircraft.
Yes, they can run the call.
And yes… they make it look easy.

Brains, bravery, and rotor wash. 💁‍♀️🚁

We’re proud to watch them lead from the right seat and the patient’s side.

You could be somebody’s type!

🩸 The trauma patient.
🩸 The mom in surgery.
🩸 The crash victim.
🩸 The neighbor.
🩸 The friend.
🩸 The family member.

We see every day how one donation can mean one more birthday, one more anniversary, one more chance.
Be the reason someone gets to go home.
Be somebody’s type.
