EHS LifeFlight provides critical care to ill and injured patients and immediate access to expert consultation and safe, timely air medical service.

The medical community recognizes air medical transport as a vital component of delivering quality emergency medical care. EHS LifeFlight supports communities with critical care for ill and injured patients, usually requiring treatment from specialists located at the QEII, IWK or regional hospitals.

Air medical transport brings the specialty team directly to the patient, dramatically increasing the speed at which the patient begins receiving critical care. Additionally, air medical transport supports both hospital and ground ambulance paramedic teams which helps to keep these valuable resources in Nova Scotia communities.
