During National Nurses Week, ARCH 4 wants to recognize the nurses who make what we do possible every day.

To the nurses at our hospital partners — thank you for the trust, teamwork, and professionalism you bring to every call and every handoff. We couldn’t do this without the strong partnerships that keep patient care seamless from bedside to bedside in the sky.

And to our very own flight nurses at ARCH 4 — Breanna, Sarah V., Sarah B., Pablo, and Cole — thank you for showing up ready for whatever the day brings. Your clinical skill, calm under pressure, and commitment to your patients and crew don’t go unnoticed. You are a big part of what makes this team work.

Happy National Nurses Week from ARCH 4. ❤️🚁

Please join us in welcoming Sarah Buehrle to ARCH 4!

Yesterday, Sarah officially earned her wings after successfully completing her first patient flights off orientation—handling both a scene flight and an interfacility transfer. This milestone reflects her hard work, dedication, and commitment to providing exceptional care to our community.

We’re proud to have her on the team. Congratulations, Sarah, and welcome to ARCH 4!

Shoutout to the voices behind the scenes who keep everything running—our AirCom dispatchers who get ARCH 4 in Sparta where we need to go, and all of our local dispatch agencies we work with every day.

AirCom is the lifeline that keeps our crew connected, coordinated, and moving safely on every call. Calm under pressure and always on it—we couldn’t do this job without you.

And to our local dispatch partners—thank you for everything you do to coordinate EMS, communicate critical info, and help bring ARCH to the scene when it matters most. Your teamwork helps us better serve our communities and provide lifesaving care when it’s needed most.

💙 We appreciate you more than you know. You truly make a difference for our crews, our patients, and the communities we all serve.
