A Family of Companies

An outstanding example of success in this endeavor is our family of unrivaled air and ground transport programs—REACH, Cal-Ore Life Flight, Methodist AirCare, Woman’s AirCare, Upland Fire, and CareConnect.

For programs where we partner with hospitals, we strive to demonstrate our deep appreciation by providing them with solutions that serve their visions, align with their missions and carry their names to their patients. And we never take these allies for granted. We know the enormous amount of trust required for one company to partner with another. Their collaboration is invaluable as it significantly increases the number of critical care patients served in local communities.

REACH Air Medical Services – A Global Medical Response Solution

Based on a passion for medicine and the guiding principle “in every situation, do what is right for the patient,” Dr. John L. McDonald founded REACH Air Medical Services in 1987. REACH has grown from one air ambulance base in Northern California to more than 30 bases across the Western United States. We respond to 911 emergency scene calls and hospital transfer requests with a fleet of medically-equipped helicopters, airplanes and ground ambulances. All our bases are staffed 24/7 to provide exceptional patient care and transport services to the communities we serve. To date, REACH has successfully transported more than 100,000 patients to needed care.
