About The Position

This team is part of the Orlando Health Air Care Team, a partnership with Air Methods. With 40 years of experience in flight services, the Critical Care Ground Transport team aims to deliver the same quality of care to Orlando Health patients and the community. As hospitals and emergency departments expand, and the surrounding areas grow, there is an increased need to transfer critically ill patients efficiently, safely, and urgently. This team enables the transfer of the sickest patients to where they need to be, when they need to be there, while providing seamless care. Clinical providers on this team offer the highest levels of critical care for transport available in Florida, mirroring the care provided by flight medic nurses. This initiative is another demonstration of Orlando Health's commitment to providing the best possible patient care.
