MedStar Health Adds Airbus H145 D3 Helicopter to Expand Critical Care Transport
MedStar Health is introducing a new Airbus H145 D3 helicopter to enhance its critical care transport capabilities for seriously ill and injured patients across the Washington, D.C., and Maryland region.
MedStar Transport, MedStar Health's critical care transport program, has added a new Airbus H145 D3 helicopter to its fleet. This acquisition is intended to strengthen the program's ability to transport critically ill and injured patients throughout the Washington, D.C., and Maryland region.
The new helicopter supplements MedStar Transport's existing air medical fleet, aiming to provide faster and more efficient transport for patients requiring urgent inter-facility transfers. The Airbus H145 D3 is a modern rotorcraft suitable for urban environments and areas with limited landing space.
This expansion of MedStar Transport's resources aligns with MedStar Health's broader commitment to investing in regional patient safety and emergency medical services. The objective is to reduce patient response times and improve outcomes in critical medical situations.
MedStar Transport has served the region's emergency medical needs for decades, operating both air and ground units. The addition of the H145 D3 further extends the program's operational capacity and reach.
