Centra ONE Helicopter
Centra expanded air medical services on May 1, 2011 through a partnership with PHI Air Medical, one of the nation's leaders in medical helicopter services. This enhances our air medical services and results in faster and more coordinated patient care and expand our helicopter geographic reach for patients from counties south of Charlottesville to the North Carolina border and from east of Farmville through Bedford County.
Our present flight crew will continue providing medical services and Marilyn McLeod, M.D., oversees our 24-hour direct emergency physician response and ensures streamlined communication with the flight crew. In addition to the helicopter, PHI, which is nationally recognized for its safety, will supply pilots and mechanics and provide extensive critical care training for our flight crew and other staff members.
The new twin engine helicopter will add state of the art technology such as night vision goggles and auto pilot technology and offer more room for specialized services such as inter-aortic balloon pump transfers and neonatal isolets.
