Combining of Existing ground w/new flight program

["Michele A. Armstrong" <maarmstr@hsc.vcu.edu>]

    I would like some input from other transport programs with  ground
and flight teams that existed in a certain specialty (ie
pediatrics)prior to having the aviation component added that was under
another department. Did all your teams eventually combine to become one
transport service? If so what was the timeline and how did it happen? If
not why?

Our hospital a ground pediatric program in existance for ~10yrs, a
neonatal ground team for~ 20yrs, and now a brand new mostly adult
medical/trauma helicopter.All are run under different departments, we do
not have one transport service governing all.
You may email me directly if you wish......lmulas@hsc.vcu.edu
Thanks
