My Checklist Manifesto The design and implementation of checklists in emergency medicine: Where we've gone wrong, why the literature shows no benefit, and how we can improve. @MartinBromiley @Kevin_Fong @HumanFact0rz @First10EM youtu.be/36vgGdxKkPQ

Another day, another life impacted. We’re proud to partner with AMR to complete our patients’ journeys. Our ALNW crews remain with the patient through every leg of transport—by helicopter, airplane, and ambulance—until they reach the bedside at their final destination.

Airlift Northwest is proud to support UW Medicine’s mission of improving community health—one way we do that is through education. Last week, we hosted free training seminars for EMS and hospital partners in Spokane County and Port Angeles. Teamwork in action!

Access to critical care shouldn't depend on your zip code. On National Rural Health Day, we recognize the importance of fast, reliable medical transport for rural America. ALNW is proud to bring critical care to the patients who need it most, no matter where they are.

Excited to step into the role of Interim Co-Editor-in-Chief of the @AirMedJournal with @TschautscherMD This is an exciting moment for the AMJ as we begin the international search for its next editorial leaders & continue to advance the field of critical care transport medicine!

At ALNW, providing the best possible care isn’t just a goal—it’s a commitment. That’s why our crews train relentlessly, honing their skills to be ready for any mission, anytime, anywhere.

Just your typical shift: save a life, catch up on the helipad, fly off again. AL3 and AL2 — staying sharp, staying ready, and soaking in the view. #AirliftNorthwest
