Air Evac Lifeteam notifying town residents of coverage

Four Randolph County municipalities are providing their residents with peace of mind when it comes to air medical service. Missy Welborn, membership sales manager for the Troup County, Ga., Air Evac Lifeteam base, said the city councils of Wedowee, Roanoke, Wadley and Woodland made it possible for every family in those cities to receive an Air Evac membership. Woodland water customers are covered, even if they do not reside in the town of Woodland.

If the residents of those cities are flown for a life-or-limb threatening emergency by Air Evac Lifeteam from Randolph County, they are covered by the Air Evac Lifeteam membership. A mailer explaining the details of the membership was sent to all residents of Wedowee, Roanoke, Wadley and Woodland. In order to be eligible for this membership, a family must reside within the city limits. For a $35 upgrade fee, families in these four cities would be covered no matter where their Air Evac Lifeteam flight originates. Because Air Evac Lifeteam is part of the AirMedCare Network, residents are covered by more than 220 bases in 32 states.

Air Evac Lifeteam, headquartered in O'Fallon, Mo., is the largest independently owned and operated air medical service in the country, serving as the critical link to improved response time and immediate access to medical care facilities. Air Evac Lifeteam has 124 bases in 15 states. For more information about Air Evac Lifeteam, please visit www.lifeteam.net, or like them on Facebook.
