The helicopters in the Mercy Health – Life Flight fleet, including those that use the Bluffton Airport, will now stock and carry blood on board helicopters to give patients in need of lifesaving transfusions.
Mercy Health has invested in storage facilities at each of the four Life Flight locations to house and maintain blood right at the base. This new approach means that our flight crews will bring blood on every patient transport.
