Island Air Ambulance

Island Air Ambulance is a critical care air ambulance service based in Friday Harbor, Washington. It flies fixed-wing aircraft and carries patients from the San Juan Islands to hospitals on the mainland.

Services

The main service is medevac for patients who need critical care in the air. The company also runs a membership program. Members pay a fee, and the program covers out of pocket costs for medically necessary flights, as the site describes it. A separate charter flight business operates under its own website.

Aircraft and base

The site says the fleet is made up of Cessna Caravans that were set up for air ambulance work. The base is Friday Harbor, on San Juan Island.

Coverage area

The service covers all of San Juan County and the surrounding region. For a medical emergency, the site tells people to call 911.

The charter side of the company is separate from the air ambulance and has its own website. People who live on or visit the islands can read the membership page to see how the program works. Billing and patient questions have their own line at (866) 570-4488.
