Atlantic Mobile Health Air Medical (Atlantic Health System)

Atlantic Air Medical is the helicopter service of Atlantic Mobile Health, which is part of Atlantic Health System in New Jersey. It is a hospital system programme. It flies patients from accident scenes and moves critically ill patients between hospitals.

Services

The service covers scene emergencies and transfers between facilities. The site says it can also fly patients between New Jersey and medical centers as far away as Boston or Baltimore. Atlantic Mobile Health also runs ground critical care ambulances.

Aircraft and crew

Atlantic Mobile Health operates two EC-135 helicopters. They are set up for critically ill or injured patients. Each flight has a flight paramedic and a flight nurse, and both are board certified. Pilots and mechanics are contracted from PHI Air Medical. The site calls this a partnership of fifteen years.

In July 2025 Atlantic Health announced that its flight teams can give blood transfusions at the scene and keep the transfusion going in the helicopter on the way to the trauma center.

Who it is for

Atlantic Health says patients may be flown from community hospitals to regional care centers. Doctors and hospitals can use the Atlantic Health patient transfer center, which also coordinates critical care air and ground transport.
