Intermountain Life Flight provides the only civilian-operated hoist service in the United States.
This service reduces risk to rescue personnel and adds a higher level of safety for reducing or
eliminating evacuations over dangerous or unstable terrain often found in mountainous areas.

Search and rescue operation time is donated by Life Flight. Patients are not charged unless
they are transported to a hospital.

Rotor nurses, paramedics, and pilots go through extensive ground and practical hoist training
to maintain compliance with rigorous FAA guidelines.

Neonatal offers air ambulance services for pre-term infants and infants less than 30 days old.

The pediatric team nurses have spent their career caring for children between the ages of 30
days to 14 years, and older.

Adult and Maternal Transport provide specialty care for high-risk and complicated pregnancies
and lead the nation in transporting patients who need advanced cardiac support.
