The increasingly strong relationship between both teams and the continued commitment by all to maintain and grow the program have resulted in this noteworthy milestone of 100 ECMO transfers.

Jason Piecek, PHI base supervisor said “The relationship between MCH, the MCH ECMO and Specialty Transport Teams, and PHI is like no other in the air medical industry. It still amazes me to see what we have accomplished, and I know there are more great achievements still to come. I can’t wait to see what’s next!”

PHI’s commitment to safety, quality, and innovation has made it a trusted partner for hospitals and healthcare facilities across Dallas. It continues to invest in the latest medical technology and ensure their its goes above and beyond in training to remain at the forefront of air medical transport services.

PHI extends its gratitude to medical professionals and Medical City Healthcare who have entrusted them with these critical patient transfers. PHI looks forward to continuing to provide life-saving ECMO transport services to those in need.
