AirMed International celebrates its 20th anniversary

Air ambulance company AirMed International is celebrating its two decades of service this year.

Headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, it was founded in 2003 by Jeffrey Tolbert.

Tolbert began his career in the air medical industry transporting organs for transplant patients. He founded AirMed after realizing the need for international air ambulance services and membership.

Two decades later, AirMed has grown in size and scale with many of Tolbert’s original employees still with the organization. AirMed is also now part of the Global Medical Response family of companies.

“Our 20th anniversary is made even more poignant by the unprecedented challenges our teams have faced in recent years with providing international air medical care during a global pandemic,” said Denise Treadwell, President of AirMed. “I am proud to say that our legacy of outstanding service and unparalleled clinical care continues even despite the uncertainties presented. We are looking forward to the future and continuing to enhance our services through strategic growth, innovation and dedication.”

Brandon Bates, Senior Director of Global Strategy and Partner Relations for AirMed, added: “To recognize two decades of providing high-quality patient care on a global scale is an honor. The dedication of so many extraordinary people and partners has enabled us to provide lifesaving care to more than 25,000 patients in more than 150 countries worldwide.”
