"Most people don't realize the life-and-death role that
emergency medical helicopters play in our healthcare system. But
the critically ill and injured are airlifted once every 90 seconds
in our nation. That's why it is important not to underestimate the
value of air medical services - because the life saved might be
yours or a loved one's."
