Check out these reviews from real host healthcare travelers..

Host Healthcare is amazing! Best travel co out there! Amanda is the recruiter I have & she is wonderful. She is there from the beginning. From searching for the perfect assignment throughout completion of a contract - Amanda is there for me! Host Healthcare treats their nurses so well

Amanda Goad is the most amazing recruiter I have worked with. She is the most responsive and go-getter. She is in constant contact with you or hospitals to get you offers and/or advocating for you. She is super motivated and helpful. If you have the opportunity to use her, you will not regret it.

Needed to move across country to be next to my partner, but blindly jumping into a full time job for a hospital system I was not familiar with was out of the question. Host Healthcare (Natalie G specifically) stood by me and helped me fulfill my absurdly specific requests. I was a first time time traveler and I couldn't have made it without the support I received!

Just finished my first contract with Host Healthcare (fifth overall) and they were amazing! Specifically my recruiter Jenny Berroth. Jenny was so helpful and easy to communicate with. I had a couple issues come up and Jenny was all over them and took care of everything so I could just concentrate on being a nurse, while she handled the rest. I can’t recommend Host and Jenny enough! You have to give Host and Jenny a try, you’ll be glad you did!

Agency/Facility Survey

Patient/Family Survey

AirMed was established on June 16, 1978, as the eighth air medical transport program in the nation. We transport trauma, burn, medical, pediatric, neonatal, high-risk OB patients, intra-aortic balloon pump, Impella, and ECMO patients 24 hours a day with six helicopters and two airplanes placed throughout northern Utah and Wyoming. We use the most state-of-the-art equipment available, which includes digital capnography, invasive line management, and intra-aortic balloon pumps for transport. We utilize cutting-edge airway technology including video laryngoscopy, advanced portable ventilators, and a variety of adjuncts for securing difficult or complex airways.

Although aircraft and uniforms have evolved over the years, the mission has stayed the same: "At AirMed we are committed to our mission of delivering the highest quality of care to our patients and will continue to strive for excellence in every aspect of our profession."

Bases & Service Area

Adult/Peds Flight Team

Our team consists of a flight nurse and flight medic, but we also have the ability to add a flight respiratory therapist to our team if the information surrounding the flight suggests a need for more advanced respiratory care.

AirMed flight nurses have a minimum of five years experience in a Level 1 Facility (three years in an ICU, two years in an ER). Flight medics have a minimum five years experience with a high-volume 911 agency. Flight respiratory therapists have a minimum of two years experience in an ICU and ER at University of Utah Health. All flight positions must have additional certifications that include, but are not limited to, ACLS, PALS, NRP, and BLS.

While AirMed will transport adult and pediatric patients to ANY facility, we are based out of the University of Utah’s Level 1 Trauma Center. As a result of our hospital affiliation AirMed team members receive ongoing training through ICU Rotations, OR Intubations, peer chart reviews, sim labs, and invasive procedure labs. Additionally we attend monthly staff meetings where we are able to review difficult cases with our medical control physicians to make sure we are providing the best care available to the patient’s we transport.

Perinatal Team

AirMed has one of the only perinatal teams in the nation staffed 24/7 with a high risk OB nurse, a neonatal nurse, and a perinatal respiratory therapist. With our average crew member experience level of 17 years, we transport patients with the following conditions as well as other critical conditions not listed:

High Risk OB Transport Criteria

• Premature rupture of membranes
• Pre-eclampsia/HELLP syndrome
• Fetal abnormalities
• Multiple gestation
• Premature labor
• Vaginal bleeding

Neonatal Transport Criteria

• All infants fewer than 30 days of age
• Premature infants less than 37 weeks
• All infants with respiratory distress
• Infants requiring nitric oxide
• Infants requiring cardiac or surgical interventions

The AirMed Perinatal Transport Team provides rapid, safe, and compassionate care while treating and transporting high risk pregnant patients and critically ill newborns. We are focused on improving outcomes to the patient, family, community, and mountain west region.

Please call 877-247-6331 to activate our dedicated 24-hour perinatal team for air or ground transport.

Patient Transports

AirMed can transfer adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients to ANY facility. We fly trauma, burns, medical, pediatric, neonate, balloon pump, and high-risk OB patients 24 hours a day.

Inter-Facility Transfers

We offer inter-facility transfers when the staff at any given health care facility has a patient they feel would benefit from receiving care at a hospital with additional resources.

Phone: 877-236-4828

Scene Flights

Scene flight requests are arranged through our flight center, which is the hub of our operation. Calls for transport come in through 911 dispatch centers:
