Dear Gold Hill Fire Protection District Member,

  We are writing to send information about an air evacuation service offered in the US.  We are not trying to sell this service, only sending information out to our community so folks know it exists.  There are certain emergency medical situations where we would opt to call for a helicopter for patient transport.  For example, chest pain, signs, and symptoms of a stroke, or life-threatening injuries due to an accident would require an air evacuation.  Some insurance will cover a helicopter transport, but many will not.  

  The Air Med Care network provides their own insurance package which would make the cost of a helicopter transport more affordable.  We are sending this link to you so you can research and decide for yourself.  Thank you for your support of this volunteer fire department.
