Saving Lives for 35 Years: Sentara Nightingale Looks Forward.

The Nightingale Regional air Ambulance program, operated by Norfolk, VA-based not-for-profit Sentara Healthcare, is marking its 35th year of operation in 2017, having surpassed 20,000 safe flights. Looking ahead, the program is adding IFR capabilities, designated landing zones to rendezvous with EMS partners and clinical training in a simulation lab, and collaborating with cardiac and neurology services to provide quicker interventions for STEMI and stroke patients at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital.
