The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce recently welcomed
Northwest MedStar to the Chamber. Based out of Spokane, WA Northwest MedStar
serves the entire region including the Sandpoint, northern Idaho and eastern
Washington area. They have done so for almost two decades and promise that
northing has or ever will change.
Northwest MedStar provides critical care transport
services and is a vital part of our region’s emergency response system. Each
year more than 3,500 critically ill or injured patients are transported by NW
MedStar’s fixed wing, helicopter or ground ambulances from bases in Spokane,
Moses Lake and Tri-Cities.
NW MedStar provides more than just fast transport. With their
Registered Nurses, Registered Respiratory Therapists and specialty
perinatal/pediatric flight team, NW MedStar provides a level of care that is
similar to the receiving critical care or specialty care unit at a major
medical center. Their teams work with care providers to care for pediatric,
newborns, new moms, cardiac, trauma, stroke and other patients ensuring the
best possible outcomes. Patients are moved fast and their care remains
continuous and uninterrupted.
In an emergency the last thing you want to think about is
the bill. NW MedStar Membership provides peace of mind knowing your flight will
not create extra financial hardship if you or your family ever become ill or
seriously injured and need to be flown. Membership benefits cover any out of
pocket costs for transport. It includes you, your spouse or domestic partner,
as well as family members claimed on income tax and is affordable. The cost per
family is $59 for one year or $150 for three years. Thanks to reciprocal
agreements, your NW MedStar membership will also be honored for air transport
by several other critical care air transport partner programs through the western
United States through its participation in the Association of Air Medical
Membership Programs (AAMMP), a collaboration of non-profit critical care
transport providers. Membership discounts are available for business groups of
10 or more.
The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce wishes
Northwest MedStar continued success and thanks them for their services to our
area. Visit www.nwmedstar.org for more
