GMR is headquartered in Lewisville, Texas, and operates 383 rotor-wing aircraft across its air medical services in all 50 states and is the largest operator of Airbus helicopters in North America.

Serving as the EMS launch partner for the Airbus H140 is just one more example of how GMR is investing in the future of care and continually innovating for the good of the communities we serve.

“In the hands of our experienced crews, the H140 will provide a better patient environment where they will continue to deliver critical acute care to patients who need it,” he added.
