Mercy Flight
Since 1983, Benefis Mercy Flight has been providing lifesaving
emergency and critical care air transport in northcentral Montana.
Mercy Flight offers specialized care for both adults and children.
Depending on patient need, flight crews may contain highly experienced and certified registered nurses, neonatal
nurse practitioners, paramedics, and/or registered respiratory therapists. Our hospital-based program is accredited
by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems.
Our Transports:
Helicopter transports are contracted through Metro Aviation. We offer critical support at accident scenes and
transport for patients injured in isolated areas. In addition, flights can be used to transport patients in surrounding
communities to Benefis Health System in Great Falls.
Fixed-wing air transports are contracted through Aero Air. Our jet is used to move patients requiring longer
distance travel within Montana and to facilities in larger communities, including Spokane, Seattle, Salt Lake City,
and Denver.
Critical care ground transport offers a ground-based emergency response when weather grounds the
helicopter or it is in use for another patient. The vehicle also transports patients to and from rural locations when
a higher level of care is required.
