Last Saturday, Livermore residents in the Glacier View Meadows Subdivision had an opportunity to see and learn about the Northern Colorado Med-Evac Helicopter.
The Northern Colorado Med-Evac service has been in operation since 2008. They fly 2 Bell 407 choppers within a 300 mile radius of Greeley, CO; serving Northern Colorado, Southern Wyoming and Western Nebraska and fly over 1500 missions per year.
The crew consists of a pilot, a registered nurse and a paramedic. They can transport one critically ill or injured patient to the nearest appropriate facility in record time.
Flying 160 miles per hour, the Med-Evac helicopter bridges the distance to the nearest hospital for our mountain residents and people in need of emergency medical services, reducing drive time of 45 minutes (to Poudre Valley Hospital) to just 10 minutes!
First responders, like our Fire Departments, Sheriffs or Paramedics in the area are the ones who usually call for the NCME transport.
It was interesting to see it land and when the coast was clear, our grandson was one of the first to jump in.
He was disappointed that they weren’t giving any free rides that day!
Although this is a ride none of us ever hope to take, it’s good to know that Northern Colorado Med-Evac is there when needed.
