Umbrellaed under the Orlando Health Air Care Team, Orlando Health partnered with Air Methods to bring this team together. With 40 years of service on the flight side, the Critical Care Ground Transport team aims to bring the same quality of care to Orlando Health patients and the community. As hospitals have expanded, along with more freestanding emergency departments and as the city and its surrounding areas grow, there is an increased need to transfer patients who are sick or critically ill, efficiently, safely and urgently. The Critical Care Ground Transport team allows us to take the sickest of patients, no matter where they are and get them exactly where they need to be, when they need to be there while providing seamless care in between. Our clinical providers riding alongside patients in the ambulances are going to provide the same level of care that our flight medic nurses provide, which is essentially in delivering the highest levels of critical care for transport available in the state of Florida. This is just another way that Orlando Health is committed to providing the best patient care possible.
