Intermountain is the only civilian air ambulance service in the U.S. to have an FAA-approved external load hoist rescue operation and is the sole IFR EMS operator in Utah with its own low-level IFR infrastructure and proprietary heliport approach procedures. The service makes 4,000 transports annually from seven base hospitals across the state and provides high-risk obstetrics, complex cardiac care and intra-aortic balloon pump transports.
