Wyoming’s only hospital-owned flight program.
Cody Regional Health and St. Vincent Healthcare, now part of Intermountain Healthcare, have partnered to launch First Flight of Wyoming, a flight program that will serve the needs of the Greater Wyoming Basin Region with high-quality, cost-effective transport services.
Better serving Wyomingites through collaboration.
With the recent closures of EMS (Emergency Medical Services) services and the high costs of air medical transport, we saw the need to better serve Wyomingites and collaborated to establish an air medical flight program located in the Big Horn Basin that will provide a lower cost and a higher quality of care to patients in Northern Wyoming.
Types of Transports
Together, the two organizations are dedicated to expanding access to care and finding solutions to help ease the way for patients, so they can receive the medical treatment and services they need.
Who We Serve
Adult and pediatric patients with medical illness or trauma related injuries transported from hospitals, clinics, and accident scenes.
First Flight of Wyoming provides rapid air transportation and advanced life support care to patients at the transport scene and en route to medical facilities. We serve outlying physicians and hospitals; emergency medical and law enforcement personnel; and residents of rural communities, farms and ranches.
