Doing What is Right for the Patient

Founded in Santa Rosa, California in 1987 by Dr. John L McDonald, REACH Air Medical Services is a leader in providing high-quality emergency patient transport services. It was Dr. McDonald's belief that if REACH followed the guiding principle "always do what is right for the patient," the company would succeed.

Since 1987, the constant pursuit of excellence in patient care and safety has placed REACH at the leading edge of the air ambulance business. REACH has performed more than 55,000 life-saving missions. The "product" at REACH is quality patient care. REACH has thrived as a result of always doing what is right for the patient.

Throughout the years, the signature red REACH aircraft have become synonymous with compassionate care and customer service which goes above and beyond.

"It is not enough to do your best...you must prepare to be the best."
