together and serving the communities is Atrium Health’s MedCenter Air FlightWatch Communications Center. Fully staffed by a highly trained group of communications specialists, the center arranges all patient transportation within the Atrium Health system. Whether a patient needs ground ambulance, helicopter or fixed-wing aircraft transportation, these communications specialists are available 24/7, processing nearly 65,000 patient transport requests per year. As an added level of safety and accountability, all aircraft are tracked during each phase of a medical flight from takeoff to touchdown.


It’s not a stretch to imagine that the care that Medcenter Air’s first (NASCAR driver) patient received back in 1986 looked drastically different than it does in 2023. Over the decades, as technology has advanced in both aircraft design and medical treatments, Atrium Health’s MedCenter Air seems committed to remaining in the front of the pack when it comes to providing a high level of air ambulance care – and the big race winners are all the citizens it serves.
