Company

Life Flight Network, a nonprofit air medical transport service, has helicopter, fixed-wing, and ground ambulance bases throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana. Life Flight Network has administrative offices in Aurora, Oregon, and employs approximately 700 people.

We provide ICU-level care and life-saving transport to seriously ill or injured patients from the scene of an emergency or from one hospital to another. Scene locations can be remote and hard or time-consuming to get to by ground. Transferring patients from one hospital to another allows patients to receive the specialized care they need if it is not available locally.

Life Flight Network is an integral part of local emergency medical systems. Providing air and ground ambulances with highly skilled personnel, undoubtedly saves lives and improves outcomes. Working together with local police, EMS, fire departments, emergency responders, and hospitals, we help ensure every patient receives the highest quality care. We have an in-depth understanding of the terrain that makes up the incredible states we serve.

Life Flight Network’s ability to assist residents living in or enjoying rural locations or mountainous terrain makes the service we provide extraordinary—and at times—a life-saving necessity for the community.

The MISSION of Life Flight Network is to provide critical care transportation to ill or injured patients in a safe, compassionate, efficient, and expeditious manner.

The VALUES of Life Flight Network are modeled after the core values of our consortium owners. Safety, Respect, Customer Service, Excellence, Quality, Leadership, Compassion, and Social Justice are the hallmarks of our program.
