For the fifth consecutive year, Airmedic\u2019s highly trained team is on site, working closely with the racetrack hospital staff. Together, they carry out medical evacuations throughout the Grand Prix. This ongoing collaboration once again demonstrates the organizers\u2019 trust in Airmedic\u2019s expertise.    <\/p>\n<h3>Advanced Helicopters Ensuring Safe Medical Evacuations<\/h3>\n<p>Specializing in helicopter medical transport, Airmedic\u2019s clinical team has extensive expertise in providing in-flight medical care. Therefore, it supports the racetrack hospital by training its staff on the use of BK117 air ambulance helicopters. These twin-engine Category A aircraft are specifically designed and dedicated to medevac operations. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fia.com\/\">F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Internationale de l\u2019Automobile (FIA)<\/a>, an air medical evacuation service must be available at all times for the race to proceed.   <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout this essential service, the Formula 1 race cannot take place. Airmedic is the only Qu\u00e9bec-based company that meets the highest quality standards to deliver this mandate year after year,\u201d said Louis-Philippe Loiselle-Fortier, Vice President, Strategic Initiatives and Business Development.<\/p>\n<p>This world-renowned event marks the start of the summer festivities in Montr\u00e9al. On this subject, Mr. Loiselle-Fortier added: \u201cThe entire team is proud to take part in the Montr\u00e9al Formula 1 Grand Prix. Acting as guardian angels for the drivers and the public alike is what motivates us year after year to ensure everyone\u2019s safety.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>This collaboration naturally reflects the future of interhospital helicopter transport in Qu\u00e9bec. Indeed, it demonstrates how a transfer operates between a sending facility and a receiving center offering specialized care. Thanks to properly equipped helipads, air ambulance helicopters can provide rapid emergency care\u2014even for patients coming from remote regions. Thus, this type of operation serves as a concrete example of improved access to specialized care across the province.   <\/p>\n<h3>About Airmedic<\/h3>\n<p>Airmedic is the only company in Qu\u00e9bec operating its own fleet of six Pilatus PC-12 aircraft and four BK117 helicopters, all exclusively dedicated to emergency medical transport and interhospital transfers. The company operates a state-of-the-art coordination center available 24\/7. Moreover, Airmedic was the first private air medical evacuation company in Qu\u00e9bec to receive Transport Canada certification authorizing night flight operations using night vision goggles, as well as Accreditation Canada\u2019s QMENTUM certification for the quality of its care and services.  <\/p>\n<p>Contact :<\/p>\n<p>Rapha\u00eble Bourgault<br \/>\nBusiness Development and Strategic Communications Manager<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:Raphaele.bourgault@airmedic.net\">Raphaele.bourgault@airmedic.net<\/a><br \/>\n514-709-9633<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Airmedic will once again be on the Gilles Villeneuve circuit during the Montreal Formula 1 Grand Prix.
