The Smith County Chamber of Commerce welcomes new member Air Evac Lifeteam Base 19 in Lafayette, Tennesseee. Air Evac Lifeteam was established in 1985 by a group of citizens in West Plains, Missouri. The goal was to provide air medical transportation and ensure access to emergency healthcare for their remote community in the Missouri Ozark Region. Although air ambulances were primarily based in metropolitan areas at the time, the company founders believed that the people who needed air medical transport the most were those living in rural areas, often far away from a hospital. That was more than 30 years ago. Today Air Evac Lifeteam is part of Air Medical Group Holdings, the world’s largest air ambulance service. Air Evac has more than 130 bases across 15 states.
Pictured with Smith County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Bill Woodard is AirEvac Lifeteam Membership Sales Manager, Lisa Jai Gore. An Air Evac Lifeteam membership (participating provider in the AirMedCare Network) for fellow chamber members costs just $65 per year for an entire household. Membership covers you for emergency transport with participating providers across 38 states with over 3 million members. You are invited to contact Lisa at 615-670-1307 with questions regarding memberships. Are you looking to start a new business or like help with your existing business?
