Cal-Ore Life Flight recently received air ambulance accreditation through the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems (CAMTS).  CAMTS is dedicated to improving the quality of patient care and safety of the ambulance transport environment. An internationally recognized organization, CAMTS is ranked as the leader in establishing air ambulance standards over and above FAA, State and Federal regulations.

Following a two-year preparation process by Cal-Ore, CAMTS surveyors spent two days completing an intensive site inspection of the company’s operations.  A full review by the CAMTS Board of Directors determined that Cal-Ore Life Flight demonstrates their ability to deliver service in compliance with CAMTS high standards and granted a three-year full accreditation.

Of an estimated 500 air ambulance services nationwide, less than 30% are CAMTS accredited.  Cal-Ore Life Flight is now one of the approximately 140 accredited services.

Cal-Ore President, Dan Brattain said, “This is quite an achievement for a small, unsubsidized company like ours. It clearly reaffirms what an outstanding group of dedicated employees we are fortunate to have, and our overall commitment to our patients.”
