UMMC AirCare Adds Fixed-Wing Aircraft to Expand Patient Transport

The University of Mississippi Medical Center’s AirCare program has added a fixed-wing aircraft to its fleet, allowing for extended reach and faster transportation of patients requiring advanced care, according to UMMC officials.

The expansion aims to improve the efficiency of patient transfers when distance is a barrier. The fixed-wing aircraft enables AirCare to serve more patients and provide timely medical interventions, especially in rural or hard-to-reach areas.

UMMC officials said the new aircraft enhances the program’s capabilities, ensuring patients receive critical care more quickly and improving outcomes. More details about the expansion are available on UMMC’s website.
