Metro-area residents live in close proximity to several hospitals in Kansas City; however, there are times that rapid transport to a specialty center may be necessary. Your closest hospital may not have the services you need. Also, metro area residents who spend time outside the city commuting, vacationing, visiting relatives, etc., could be benefited by the membership program if an air ambulance transport becomes necessary.
