SkyHealth is a state-of-the-art emergency helicopter service that greatly reduces the time a critically ill or injured patient spends outside of the acute care environment. The helicopter is equipped with the same sophisticated critical care technology available in the most innovative of emergency rooms and intensive care units. Mather has a helicopter landing site that can accommodate SkyHealth.
Flying over traffic at 135 miles an hour, the SkyHealth helicopter offers the fastest and safest route to and from any medical facility in the northeast region. On average, it takes 10 minutes from the time a call is received until lift-off. Though flight times vary depending on distance and weather, the helicopter can cover approximately 25 miles in about 12 minutes. The same route could take an ambulance an hour or more. Imagine what a difference those precious minutes can make.
