Nightingale Regional Air Ambulance
Outreach
Hospital Relations: Nightingale strives to visit each referring hospital at least once a year. By doing this we are able to educate the requestors on changes within Nightingale and when to utilize the service. These hospital visits also allow Nightingale the opportunity to meet the staff members, give suggestions for efficient patient transfer preparation, and to offer tours of the aircraft.
Emergency Services Relations: Nightingale arranges visits with referring fire and EMS agencies on a routine basis. The purpose of these site visits is to train first responders in issues of scene safety, setting up landing zones, patient packaging, flight preparation, and aircraft loading. This allows us to educate the requestors on how to fully utilize Nightingale's services. It gives Nightingale time to met the requestors in a non-stress environment and allow time for tours of the aircraft.
