What role does AEL play in the emergency services community?
Air Evac Lifeteam crews work closely with ground ambulance services and other agencies in their service areas. AEL recognizes that good patient care requires a team effort of everyone involved –from first responders and law enforcement officials to ground ambulance and hospital personnel. We all play separate, but very distinct roles, in getting the patient to the appropriate medical care. Air Evac Lifeteam’s role is not to replace any emergency service already in place in a community. Air Evac is a resource to be called upon when a higher level of care is needed.
