As part of its commitment to strengthening its regional network, Hackensack University Medical Center emergency medical transportation helicopter first took to the sky on April 7, 2012. “Our medical center is constantly seeking ways to better serve the needs of our community and patients. As the Hackensack University Health Network continues to expand, this helicopter will offer vital transport services to not only Hackensack University Medical Center patients, but to our affiliate hospitals as well” said Robert C. Garrett, then President and Chief Executive Officer of Hackensack University Medical Center.
Michelle Kobayashi, director of the program notes, “CAMTS accreditation validates the outstanding work that this team does each and every day. Our patients, their providers, and the communities we serve can be confident that when a Hackensack University Medical Center air medical provider is with them, they’re in the safest and most capable hands.”
