As part of its continuing
growth strategy, AirMed International has acquired San Antonio-based Air
Medical, the largest fixed wing air medical transport company in Texas.
Air Medical's fleet of three
jets and two King Air turboprops, equipped for critical care transports, is
located at San Antonio International Airport. Those aircraft will join AirMed's
fleet, including Beechjet, Cessna Citation, Hawker and Learjet aircraft along
with more than 20 King Airs, located at nearly 30 bases.
"Strategically, this
acquisition will allow AirMed International to serve growing requirements for
critical care transport as we meet the needs of healthcare in the Texas region
and enhance support for area military medical transports," said AirMed President
Denise Treadwell.
"The compassionate, dedicated and experienced Air Medical team that Chairman
Joe McCart
has built is quite compatible with our professional medical and flight teams."
Air Medical's McCart said,
"Denise Treadwell's AirMed International team has integrity, financial strength
and commitment to patient care, consequently this sale will benefit our
customers and our employees very well into the future." Air Medical has
performed emergency and pre- cheduled medical transports for 15 years. Like
AirMed, it also conducts international transports and is accredited by the
Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems (CAMTS).
