In September of 1999, Jennie Stuart Medical Center partnered with Air Evac Lifeteam to provide air ambulance service to Christian and surrounding counties. The Air Evac Lifeteam is staffed 24 hours a day at JSMC following the construction of a helicopter pad about 200 yards from the hospital emergency room in July 2000.
 The Air Evac Lifeteam can fly quickly to the scene of an accident or medical emergency, bringing its life-saving equipment and crew to provide immediate medical attention during those critical early moments following an accident or emergency.
Traveling at speeds of up to 130 miles per hour, the helicopter rapidly transports patients to the nearest medical facility that can provide the appropriate care. The Air Evac Lifeteam works closely with ground ambulance crews to provide you with the best patient care possible.
The Air Evac flight crews consist of a pilot, paramedic and registered nurse. Medical personnel must have at least three years of critical care experience, and pilots must have at least 3000 hours of flight time. The company was founded in 1985, and since that time has flown more than 30,000 people who were in critical need of care.
Air Evac was the first air ambulance service in the United States to offer a membership program. The membership program allows Air Evac Lifeteam to serve smaller communities that otherwise might not be able to support an air ambulance service. Air Evac members pay a yearly fee which entitles them to use the helicopter during life- or limb-threatening emergencies at no out-of-pocket cost. Membership coverage also includes hospital-to-hospital transfers in life or limb threatening emergencies.
