Quicker medical response times are coming to rural areas and national parks in Southern Utah thanks to AirLife Utah opening a base in Cedar City.
CEDAR CITY — Southern Utah's state and national park visitors now have more access to emergency medical care as AirLife Utah adds a base in Cedar City.
"The parks around the area are an asset to southwestern Utah and eastern Nevada, but visitors may be unprepared for the conditions. ... When people enjoying our landscape get injured, experience heat stroke, or are unable to get themselves out of the parks, we can access remote areas with emergency medical care," said Erik Bornemeier, account executive with Air Methods.
"AirLife Utah, with their base in Cedar City, will not only give law enforcement and fire enhanced, timely coverage of the county, but their ability to respond directly to the scene then to the hospital in a matter of minutes, not hours, will undoubtedly mean the difference between life and death for many," Colson said.
