You are free to nominate your own organization.
We are looking for industry leaders and new and innovative ideas to promote safety and help raise the bar for the entire air medical community. Has your organization risen above the industry and distinguished itself by implementing innovations in developing risk assessment tools, safety procedures, quality management, dispatching, crew training, etc. that could be successfully adopted by emergency medical services programs (EMS) or operators to improve EMS aviation safety? Do you know a program or operator committing resources for equipment and training that exceed expectations and go beyond the norm to enhance safety for all of us?
