HealthNet Aeromedical Services has completed the state-required licensure of EMS agencies and received an "A" rating from the West Virginia Office of Emergency Medical Services. The rating grants HealthNet a four-year license for critical care transport.
Recently, HealthNet opened a helicopter base at the Marshall County Airport to serve WVU Medicine Reynolds Memorial Hospital and other area facilities.
The state inspection occurs every four years and requires a thorough review of business operations including equipment and facilities, education and training, financial responsibility and safety practices.
HealthNet, with headquarters in Charleston, is a not-for-profit critical care transport system cooperatively owned and operated by Cabell Huntington Hospital, Charleston Area Medical Center and WVU Medicine. The organization operates eight helicopter bases in West Virginia, one in Ohio and one in Kentucky.
It has transported more than 80,000 patients safely since beginning operations in 1986.
