REACH Helicopter Adds Blood Products in Elko Nevada
Global Medical Response, May 26, 2023 - ELKO, NV — REACH Air Medical Services today announced that it has made another investment to help save lives in Elko County.

The air medical provider will now carry blood products on its Elko-based air medical helicopter.

Stacey Ingram, Program Director for REACH, said packed red blood cells are now available to the medical crews to provide to patients who may be suffering from severe blood loss and require aggressive fluid resuscitation under their care.

“The addition of blood products to our aircraft is an important step in providing care at a moment’s notice to critically ill and injured patients,” said Ingram. “Early administration of blood products can help provide important stabilization for patients being transported to a higher level of care.”

Ingram also said she is grateful for the investments REACH has made to provide these blood products and that the announcement comes during National EMS Week.

“It is fitting that during National EMS Week, we share the news of another investment REACH has made into the communities of Northern Nevada,” said Ingram. “This is a testament to REACH’s dedication to providing the highest levels of care and to continuous improvement.”

REACH operates four air medical bases in Northern Nevada in Elko, Ely and Reno.
