Welcome aboard, Dr. Jayne! 🎉

Over the next month, Dr. Jayne, an emergency medicine resident physician, will be riding with Saints Flight as part of a prehospital medicine elective. With a passion for EMS and a goal of becoming an EMS physician, he’ll be gaining hands-on experience in the unique challenges and opportunities of critical care transport and prehospital medicine.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we're reminded that the work we do in emergency medical services demands not only physical strength but emotional resilience. The calls we respond to, the lives we touch, the moments we witness — they stay with us. That's why we're committed to supporting our teammates through SIREN, our peer-to-peer mental health network. SIREN connects our crew members with trained peers who truly understand what it means to serve on the front lines. Because sometimes, the most powerful support comes from someone who's been there too. To every EMS professional out there: your mental health matters. You are not alone. We're here for each other, today and always.

As we close out EMS Week, we're celebrating the unsung heroes who keep us mission-ready and safe – our aviation maintenance technicians (AMTs). They're a humble group who work behind the scenes, but their impact is felt on every mission. From routine maintenance to critical repairs, our AMTs ensure that when the call comes in, our aircraft are ready to respond. Their skill, dedication, and attention to detail make all the difference. Please help us give a big shout-out to our amazing maintenance team! 🛠️🚁

Today, Saints Flight had the opportunity to join Atwood Fire Protection Dist., Atwood Police Department, Kirby Medical Center, and Piatt County Sheriff's Office for a Touch-A-Truck event with the Atwood Elementary School 2nd grade students. 🚒 🚑 🚓 🚁
