Air Methods Kentucky: Hazard Base (KY-4)

 

 

 

KY-4 opened in Hazard, Ky., in August 2004 at the Wendell Ford Regional Airport to serve this region of Southeast Kentucky. Each of our medical and aviation crew members brings many years of experience to our patients and customers. We pride ourselves in having staff that are from this region, allowing us the benefit of knowing our communities personally. 

We fly an EC130, servicing Hazard and the surrounding areas with an average lift-off time of 7 minutes. The KY-4 staff has developed a very good relationship with the EMS services in the areas as well as with area hospitals such as Hazard ARH, Mary Breckenridge, Highlands Regional, Paul B. Hall, and Kentucky River Medical Center. Most of our transports are to Lexington, Huntington, W. Va., and Kingsport, Tenn. Our crews are very active in the community with public relations and community events to promote our service and safety. We provide continuing education to EMS and hospital staff throughout the year.
