At Air Methods, we’re ready to save lives at every moment of every day, with over 250 bases of operations, serving 46 states.
Great Plains LifeNet is a collaborative partnership with Great Plains Health. Our highly-trained flight crew serves the critical-care air transportation needs of central Nebraska, northern Kansas, and southern South Dakota. Our medevac team can come to the scene of an illness or injury and take you to the emergency room, and our team can transport you from one emergency room to another, as needed.
Serving the Front Range
We’re excited to open our newest Air Methods base right here in Denver, bringing faster critical care access to the communities we call home. Our crew is ready 24/7 to lift off when minutes matter and deliver the kind of care no ground unit can match. Denver just got a little safer.

I served in the Navy as a Radio Operator Electronic Technician on Nuclear Submarines. I drove a couple nuclear submarines and it is no different than instrument flying in a helicopter. No windows, or doors, driving strictly by instrument panels. The living quarters are just as tight than being inside a helicopter. I started my aviation career outside the military thanks to the Montgomery GI Bill. I joined Air Methods because it is very veteran friendly. Being a national pool pilot for over a year now, I’ve had the privilege to work with multiple employees such as pilots, mechanics, paramedics, nurses and so forth that are veterans. The transition going from one new base to another as a pool pilot becomes easier to break the ice with med crews when you find out they are veterans as well.

“Flying is the best EMS job I’ve ever had. Our managers are very supportive, and I truly feel like part of a team with a common goal for the first time since I left the Navy. Air Methods actively recruits Veterans, and the environment provides a seamless transition to civilian life.”

“I loved being an Army MEDEVAC pilot, so it makes sense to join the Air Methods team to get back to doing what I love to do. The Army sets the standard for military MEDEVAC and Air Methods sets the standard for civilian MEDEVAC. I prefer to associate with the very best and Air Methods has that reputation.”

“During my interviews and reading about the company, it was apparent that the company and I had shared values. There was a lot going on about other air carriers offering meaningless memberships and that just did not sit well with me. I felt that if Air Methods would treat strangers with respect, how much better would it be if they knew me? I have yet to be disappointed. My teammates are amazing! My manager provides everything that I can think of to safely execute my job. When I have questions or a hard decision to make, leadership and teammates provide the support I need to make safe, smart, and timely decisions. I am glad that I am part of an organization that tells me their top priority is that I go home to my family at the end of every shift!”

Behind each mission is a talented and highly trained team with one mission.
