This year our AirCare, Emergency Medicine, and Trauma Surgery staff were honored to train 178 clinicians from several states in a procedural cadavar lab at the combined MEMS and State Trauma conference in Biloxi. Many of those same lab instructors were also presenters in several lectures. We are always excited to fulfill one of UMMC’s core values; Education. Thanks to the MEMS board for their hard work organizing what we feel was the best conference thus far. We look forward to future opportunities to share the knowledge of our incredible staff with our great Mississippi and surrounding states clinicians.

Robert is one of the many voices Behind the Mic in Med-Com. He along with the Med-Com team coordinate patient movement across the UMMC hospital system and Mississippi everyday. From ED and inpatient transfers to EMS reports and coordinating critical care transport teams across our region, Robert and the Med-Com team get to make a huge difference in patient outcomes.

Robert was nominated by his fellow team members and partner departments as he continues to go above and beyond for his patients and our teams here at MCES. Thank you Robert!

Today is an exciting day for UMMC AirCare and the Mississippi Center for Emergency Services as we celebrate the launch of AirCare 5, our new fixed-wing critical care transport program.

For more than 30 years, AirCare has worked alongside EMS agencies, hospitals, first responders and health care professionals across Mississippi to bring advanced critical care closer to the patients who need it.

Today, that mission grows.

AirCare 5 expands our reach beyond the capabilities of our helicopter fleet, giving our teams another tool to connect critically ill and injured patients with the specialized care they need across Mississippi and beyond.

This program represents months of planning, preparation, training and teamwork by an incredible group of people. From our clinical crews and aviation partners to communications, logistics, education, medical leadership and the many teams behind the scenes, countless hands helped bring AirCare 5 from an idea to an operational aircraft.

We are especially grateful for the continued support of our EMS, hospital and community partners throughout Mississippi. AirCare has always been about more than an aircraft. It is about bringing critical care to the patient and working together to ensure Mississippians have access to the right care, at the right place, at the right time.

You may have seen AirCare 5 featured in local news coverage today. We are proud to share this milestone with the communities we serve and even more excited about what this new capability means for patient care.

Four helicopters. One fixed-wing aircraft. One mission.

Bringing the advanced care of Mississippi’s academic medical center to patients when and where they need it.

The University of Mississippi Medical Center’s AirCare officially launched its new fixed-wing service.
