Yes. LifeFlight Eagle works very closely with local EMS agencies and fire departments. These agencies request LifeFlight Eagle to transport their patients when medically necessary. In addition, LifeFlight Eagle provides more than 1,000 hours of continuing education to rural fire departments and EMS agencies each year to help them maintain certifications and licensure requirements, and to help their staff learn and practice cutting-edge treatments so they can better serve the citizens of their communities.
Accreditation and Licensure
LifeFlight Eagle is fully accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems (CAMTS), which is a peer review organization dedicated to improving patient care and transport safety by providing a dynamic accreditation process through the development of standards, education, and services.
LifeFlight Eagle has been CAMTS accredited since 2001, and it received full triennial accreditation after its most recent survey in early 2022. LifeFlight Eagle believes it is important to maintain this accreditation to continually review our processes to assure best practices are being met.
Additionally, LifeFlight Eagle is a licensed air and ground ambulance in the state of Missouri and Kansas. All of its nurses and paramedics are fully licensed in both states as well.
