In 1981, Acadian Ambulance Service's Air Med Services became the first aero-medical provider in the Gulf of Mexico. Today, with decades of onshore and offshore experience responding to victims in areas where access by ground ambulance is difficult or impossible, Air Med Services is a national leader in air ambulance medical transports, flying more first response missions than any other air medical program in the country.

For emergency transports, Air Med Services operates an extensive fleet of medically-configured helicopter ambulances strategically stationed for departures throughout our service area. For extended medical transports across the continental United States, we also operate a collection of fixed-wing units, including Learjet 35 aircraft available for pre-arranged international flights.

All of our aircraft are equipped with technologically-advanced diagnostic and life support medical equipment. In addition, our nationally-registered flight paramedics, trained via Acadian's highly acclaimed Critical Care Transport (CCT) program, are cross-trained as flight controllers/coordinators to ensure patients receive the highest standard of care possible. Extensive treatment protocol includes stroke care, acute coronary syndrome treatment, advanced trauma life support and rapid sequence induction using operating room procedures.

Acadian coordinates the air and ground transportation, makes arrangements with the receiving facility, communicates directly with family members, files the patient’s insurance claim, and updates medical teams at both sending and receiving facilities throughout transport.
