About Us We appreciate your interest in the Life Flight and
your support of our program. Memorial Hermann Life Flight® is a critical care air medical transport
service based in Houston, Texas. Accredited by the Commission on Accreditation
of Medical Transport Systems, Life Flight is Houston’s only hospital-based air
ambulance service. It extends the hospital’s Emergency department to the sky
and throughout the region, operating within a 150-mile radius of Memorial
Hermann-Texas Medical Center. The crew performs more than 3,000 adult and
pediatric missions each year, making the John S. Dunn Helistop one of the
busiest helipads in the world. The first air ambulance service in Texas and
only the second in the country, Life Flight took its inaugural flight in 1976.
Since then, Memorial Hermann Life Flight has flown more than 140,000 missions.
The fleet operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, in VFR (visual), or IFR
(instrument) weather conditions.
