EagleMed Air Medical Transport Cuts Ribbon On New Texas-Based Weather Station

Facility Installed At Eagle Pass, TX

EagleMed critical care air medical transport company has installed an automated weather observing system at Eagle Pass, Texas enabling the company's fixed-wing aircraft to serve patients in the region during inclement weather. An invitation-only ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new facility was held Tuesday.

EagleMed LLC funded the automated weather observing system project and worked with local government and FAA officials to install it at Maverick County Memorial International Airport.

“EagleMed is very pleased to be able to add this weather reporting infrastructure to augment our ability to support the local communities in terms of transporting critical care patients to the most appropriate medical facilities throughout Texas,” said EagleMed Director of Operations Andy Faletto, who spearheaded the project.

The EagleMed fixed-wing aircraft that supports the Eagle Pass area is located in San Marcos, Texas, where the company bases a King Air C90 air medical transport plane. The new weather station will also serve EagleMed’s sister companies, AirEvac Lifeteam and REACH, which base medically outfitted helicopters at Eagle Pass, Pearsall, Carrizo Springs and Laredo, all in southwest Texas.

The station, supplied by All Weather Incorporated, features a weather-proof enclosure containing meteorological sensors, including a thermometer for measuring air temperature, anemometer for measuring wind speed, wind vane for measuring wind direction, hygrometer for measuring humidity and a barometer for measuring atmospheric pressure.
