Hospital Staff

Case managers and social workers can partner with Air Escort to maintain continuity of care while improving patient throughput and decreasing length of stay for unreimbursed care.

Bed space is at a premium today as the aging population and changing demographics impact hospitals nationwide. Fortunately, patients who are ready to move to in-home care, rehabilitation centers or another health care facility can be transported safely and cost-effectively with our air medical escort services.

The expense of flying a patient with Air Escort is minimal compared to extended stays in your facility or air ambulance transportation. 

Our patients range from those with some mobility but needing medical care to the totally immobile who require lifting assistance and complete care.
