In emergency situations, minutes can mean the difference between life and death. That’s why we’ve taken our service excellence to the skies with the new Wellmont One air transport helicopter.
Strategically based at Tacoma Regional Hospital in Greene County, Wellmont One can respond swiftly to motor vehicle accidents and other emergencies across the region as well as transport patients from the farthest corners of our communities to Wellmont trauma centers. We’re also in the process of establishing a helicopter and base in Sullivan County.
“Our mission as a healthcare system is to provide everyone in our region cost-effective, convenient access to medical care, and Wellmont One is a key component of that mission,” says Dr. Richard Salluzzo, president and chief executive officer of Wellmont. “We believe everyone should have access to the best in health care—and everyone should have access to it quickly when they need it.”
