Funds Will Support Advancing The Air Medical Transport
Industry
Bell Helicopter demonstrated its continued support for MedEvac
Foundation International at the 2010 Air Medical Transport
Conference (AMTC) Tuesday, making a $200,000 donation in support of
the foundation's research, education, outreach and other charitable
services which enhance patient transport and critical-care
services. Bell says the donation reinforces the two entities' dual
commitment to supporting the advancement of air medical
transport.
"We want to thank Bell Helicopter for becoming our first Patron
Circle donor," said MedEvac Foundation International Chair Kevin
Hutton, MD, FACEP. "Bell's continued investment in MedEvac
Foundation demonstrates their ongoing commitment to supporting the
research, safety and educational mission of the Foundation and its
partner, the Association of Air Medical Services."
"MedEvac Foundation plays a critical role in providing the
entire air medical and critical care-transport community with the
resources, support and guidance that result in more efficient,
high-quality patient care," said Bell Helicopter Senior Vice
President, Commercial Business Larry D. Roberts. "We are honored to
be a part of this community and look forward to working with
MedEvac Foundation to promote safety in HEMS."
"At Bell Helicopter, we recognize the important service being
provided by the air-medical transport community. On behalf of
the more than 10,000 men and women of Bell, I would like to thank
the MedEvac Foundation for its service, and pledge our continued
support for your mission," said Roberts.
Bell announced Wednesday that it had taken orders for 32 new
aircraft during the 2010 Air Medical Transport Conference, and that
there were additional opportunities following more than 35
demonstration flights for potential customers in the 429 that was
on display.
