Cal-AAMS is built on the idea that representation from a variety of medical transport services and businesses
can be brought together to share information, collectively resolve problems and provide leadership in the medical transport community.

"FlightCare has been flying at the speed of life since 1985. Since then, it has served more than 23,000 patients across Butte, Tehama, Glenn, Plumas, Colusa, Sierra, Shasta, Trinity, Yuba and Lassen counties. The service is the only hospital-owned and operated air ambulance in California. All FlightCare crew members, nurses, paramedics, pilots and mechanics are Enloe employees. Crews are able to help in the Emergency Department when they’re not flying. The program is staffed with six pilots, five flight paramedics, seven flight nurses and two mechanics every day to ensure 24/7 coverage.
“Our FlightCare team is fully integrated into Enloe’s culture of excellent service. We are fortunate enough to have local flight crews and don’t have to use float crews, like many programs in the country — we live here, and our families live here,” said Jenny Humphries, Enloe’s Director of Emergency Medical Services and Chief Flight Nurse. “We have knowledge of our local geography and love helping our community.
FlightCare responds to 911 calls and transports patients to Enloe and other health care facilities when needed. The helicopter is filled with an array of sophisticated, lifesaving equipment, and when the need arises, additional devices above and beyond what is already on board can be added to meet a patient’s needs.
