The WellFlight service runs 24/7 and 365 days per year and transports patients in need of medical services, regardless of their ability to pay.

“We are very excited to be in Lebanon County and the opportunity to provide the community with advanced critical care when time matters most,” WellFlight Clinical Base Lead and Flight Nurse Bob Salvatico said. “We augment ground EMS with the ability to provide emergency blood transfusions, rapid and advanced airway management, as well as an expanded medication scope of care to treat patients on the scene just like they are in an intensive care unit (ICU). Additionally, we are positioned to ensure safe, rapid, and efficient transport to a variety of tertiary care hospitals in the region.”

The service operates jointly with its sister base in Gettysburg covering communities across Central Pennsylvania.
