The medical transport helicopters, which will serve Pittsburgh and surrounding areas like Butler County, can travel from Butler to Allegheny General Hospital in about 12 minutes.
“This aircraft represents an investment in the communities we serve. It’s more than just a new helicopter program,” said Matthew Poremba, medical director for AHN’s LifeFlight system. “It’s an extension of the emergency care system — whether we’re responding to rural communities, supporting EMS agencies, facilitating critical care transfers, helping connect patients to specialized services — this helps ensure patients get the right care at the right time.”
The new chopper, an Airbus H145 D3 medical transport helicopter, is part of a $55 million investment to replace and modernize the network’s LifeFlight fleet. Click the link in bio for more.
