Baptist Memorial Hospital-Carroll County has started working with Med-Trans Corporation, a leading national air ambulance service, to provide daily air medical transportation services for patients in the region.
Med-Trans is focused on establishing professional relationships with leading health systems, medical centers and emergency management service agencies. They began providing daily services at Baptist Carroll County on May 25.
“As a full-service hospital for a large region, we sometimes receive trauma patients or other complex medical cases that require immediate transfer and treatment to achieve the best outcomes,” said Susan Breeden, CEO and administrator of Baptist Carroll County. “Our collaboration with Med-Trans will ensure we can provide the highest quality care by quickly and safely transferring critical patients to the next level of care.”
Joshua Steele, regional business director for Med-Trans, said “Hospital Wing, our Mid-South-based air ambulance company, which was founded in Memphis, has been committed to serving the people of the Mid-South for more than 35 years, including the citizens of Carroll County. Baptist has played an integral role in the success of Hospital Wing since it was founded in 1986.”
