Lifeguard 12

KALB - Albany International Airport
Albany, New York, USA

Starting in 1981, eastern Pennsylvania ushered in the era of emegency air medicine. LVH MedEvac led the way in the spring of 1981, followed shortly by Geisinger Life Flight in the summer of 1981. Life Lion soon joined, launching operations in 1986. Together, these programs vastly improved access to trauma centers and transformed prehospital care across the state. Check back as a detailed history of all 3 programs will soon be published.
