Cox Air Care
Accredited Emergency Air Care
Cox Air Care is southwest Missouri's premier air medical flight program.
All of us at Cox Air Care are extremely pleased to be accredited by the
Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems or CAMTS
as a program demonstrating overall quality of service and having high
standards.
CAMTS is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality
and safety of medical transport services. Accreditation is a voluntary
process that includes the evaluation of patient care and safety in fixed
and rotorwing services, as well as ground and interfacility services.
In addition to the initial application process, an on-site visit was
conducted and reviews were made of the CoxHealth flight program and its integration
with other hospital departments such as emergency, critical care and dispatch.
Cox Air Care was found to demonstrate "a steady balance in all dynamic
components of the program." This was a tremendous achievement for our
program that took a huge effort from the entire crew.
The Cox Air Care mission is to transport those critically ill or injured
to tertiary care facilities throughout the area. Our coverage
area includes all of southwest Missouri and parts of northwest Arkansas.
We operate 24/7 with a flight crew that
consists of a flight nurse, flight paramedic and a pilot. Our helicopter
is a Eurocopter BO105 cbs, also
known as a Bolkow.
This is an ideal aircraft for the terrain in this area of the country.
At Cox Air Care we pride ourselves on safety,
and we would not be able to achieve any mission without the maintenance
staff, pilots, communication specialists and medical crews all cooperating
as a team.
