The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) has announced a new air ambulance service to serve the cities of Lancaster and Chester
The service will operate 24/7, providing emergency transport to any hospitals within a 100-mile (161-km) radius.
The program will operate under MUSC’s MEDUCARE service, and will employ a Bell 407GXi, registration N600MT. It will be run by a crew of one pilot, one trauma nurse, and one emergency medical services (EMS) specialist.
The program will provide both on-site critical care air ambulance services and inter-hospital transfers, and will work with both local EMS and fire services to respond to emergencies.
