ALNW is saddened to hear of a crash involving a REACH air medical helicopter off the coast of California last night. Our thoughts are with all of the families, friends, colleagues, and first responders affected by this tragic event.

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember the men and women who gave their lives serving our country. Their sacrifice and dedication will never be forgotten.
From all of us at Airlift Northwest, thank you to those who served, and to the families who continue to carry their memory

Another day, another life impacted.
We’re proud to partner with AMR to complete our patients’ journeys. Our ALNW crews remain with the patient through every leg of transport—by helicopter, airplane, and ambulance—until they reach the bedside at their final destination.

Airlift Northwest is proud to support UW Medicine’s mission of improving community health—one way we do that is through education. Last week, we hosted free training seminars for EMS and hospital partners in Spokane County and Port Angeles. Teamwork in action!

Access to critical care shouldn't depend on your zip code. On National Rural Health Day, we recognize the importance of fast, reliable medical transport for rural America. ALNW is proud to bring critical care to the patients who need it most, no matter where they are.

Just your typical shift: save a life, catch up on the helipad, fly off again.
