Centura Health's Flight For Life was the first hospital based emergency medical helicopter program of its kind. Our maiden voyage, flown to a life-threatening automobile accident in the mountains on October 12, 1972, formed the prototype for all other hospital based flight programs. Forty years and over 90,000 flights later, more than 300 flight programs around the country and around the world hav
e been modeled on this concept. Flight For Life is a program designed to provide an efficient and immediate response system to the critically ill and injured within the Denver metropolitan area, the State of Colorado, and the Rocky Mountain region. As a valuable lifesaving supplement to any community's emergency medical service system, Flight For Life is available by request from any physician, hospital, clinic, public safety agency, paramedic/EMT, or any trained persons responsible for obtaining the service. Never considering a patient's ability to pay, Flight For Life is able to respond within minutes of receiving a call. Responding to a scene or to a medical facility, Flight For Life's Flight Nurses and Paramedics are able to provide critical care to those in need of service.
