Carolina Air Care. The N.C.
Memorial Hospital's medical helic
opter rescue sen ice. made its debut
Tuesday, landing in front of a
cheering crowd of over 300.
"Isn't she pretty?" the hospital's
executive director. Eric B. Munson
said, as the blue and white helicopter
circled the hospital before landing on
the helipad in front of the hospital.
"This is a joyous occasion in the
history of North Carolina Memorial
Hospital," he said.
The helicopter is not entirely new
to the hospital which had been served
by the Military Assistance Safety
Transport program for almost 15
years before suspending its service
recently, Munson said. The new
service is the hospital's own and is
the fourth addition to the N.C. Aero
Medical Affiliation. The five hospi
tal's helicopters, with a sixth to be
added in Asheville later this summer,
will be able to provide a critical care
helicopter rescue service to the entire
state.
The debut of Carolina Air Care
marks an important step toward a

statewide network of hospital helic
opter services that can provide North
Carolinians with quick access to
emergency care and highly trained
health carejrofessionals." Munson
said.
The helicopter service will . be
staffed by three pilots, a 14-member
team of critical care nurses and
paramedics for adult care, and a 14
member neonatal and pediatric care
team, said Robert Harrison, N.C
Memorial Hospital's aeromedical
coordinator. "Our plan is to provide
a 24-hour critical care and emergency
transport system to serve as an
extension of the unique capabilities
of the hospital," he said.
The helicopter is a $1.5 million
Messerschmidt Bolkow Blohm that
can serve a 150-mile radius without
refueling. It is fully equipped for
critical care during transport and can
hold two patients. Its top speed of
150 mph enables it to travel to
Raleigh in 10 minutes.
Carolina Air Care should be in full
operation by mid-July. Harrison
estimates that the helicopter will
transport 500 patients during its first
