Banner Med Evac

Banner Med Evac is the air medical service of Banner Health, based in Greeley, Colorado. The company says it has served the region since 1982. It provides scene response and transport between hospitals for sick and injured patients.

Med Evac covers Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska and Kansas. It has dedicated bases in Colorado and Wyoming, plus a network of regional partners. In August 2025 Banner announced a new helicopter and base in Casper, Wyoming.

The fleet is made up of Airbus H125 helicopters, formerly known as the AStar 350 B3e. The aircraft carry night vision goggles, radar altimeters, GPS navigation, satellite tracking and terrain alert systems. The company says the H125 has a fuel radius of about 156 nautical miles.

Med Evac is owned and operated by Med-Trans Corporation, which provides the aircraft, pilots and mechanics. Banner Health provides the medical equipment and staff. It holds an FAA Part 135 certificate.

Med Evac takes patients who need a Level 1 trauma center, cath lab, stroke center, PICU or NICU. It treats multi system trauma, spinal cord and head injuries, cardiac, pulmonary and burn patients, along with transplant and pediatric patients. Crews can carry Impella pump patients and use target temperature management.

A high risk obstetric team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Blood products are carried on every flight, and crews carry CroFab antivenin for North American crotalid bites. The service is accredited by CAMTS, which it received in 1996 as the 36th air medical program in the United States. Med Evac is also a member of AAMS.
