RE: UC Davis Med Center To Ground One 'Life Flight' Helicopter



Thanks Rande.  I know the person that used to be the Chief Flight Nurse there.  She left a couple years ago.  Maybe she saw it coming.  Interesting how some of the old mainstays are falling apart and others are springing up like weeds.  Ruby

UC Davis Med Center To Ground One 'Life Flight' Helicopter

Hospital Cites Budget Restraints

POSTED: 9:53 a.m. PST March 11, 2003

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- When an accident happens, victims are sometimes taken by a medical helicopter called Life Flight, but soon, those air ambulances may be flying a lot less often.

Citing big budget restraints, the UC Davis Medical Center in Davis has announced that they will halt service of one of their Life Flight helicopters. That move would leave just one chopper in service.

Nurses plan to protest the decision Tuesday afternoon. They say taking away the helicopter would pose a big threat to the public.
