Terrell, TX – August 15, 2024 – CareFlite is thrilled to announce the relocation of one of its Helicopter Ambulance Air Bases from McKinney to Terrell, Texas. This strategic move will enhance emergency response times and better serve the area.
The new air base in Terrell is positioned to increase response efficiency across Kaufman County and its neighboring regions. With a substantial number of emergency calls already originating from Kaufman County, the relocation ensures that CareFlite's highly skilled medical team can provide even faster and more effective care. This transition marks a significant milestone in CareFlite's commitment to delivering the highest quality emergency medical care and transport.
“We are excited about this move and the positive impact it will have on our service to the community,” said Jason Schwebach, CareFlite CEO. By positioning our Helicopter in Terrell, we are not only enhancing our operational efficiency but also reinforcing our dedication to the safety and well-being of Kaufman County residents.”
“As a City booming with new development, increasing public safety services through new partnerships is key. Partnering with CareFlite at the Terrell Municipal Airport will improve emergency response for Terrell citizens and our region as a whole. We couldn’t ask for a better partner,” said Terrell City Manager Mike Sims.
CareFlite will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the new base in Terrell on August 15, 2024. The event will begin at 10:30 am and is open to the public. Community members, local officials, and media representatives are all invited to join us as we mark this significant achievement and showcase our state-of-the-art facilities.
