Medway Air Ambulance has renewed its contract with Paradigm, a US company committed to solving catastrophic and complex health care challenges and improving lives. The deal reaffirms the air medical transport provider as an in-network partner.

The ongoing relationship ensures that Medway, one of the largest contracted providers of fixed-wing air ambulance transports in the US, will continue to fly Paradigm patients for specialty or rehabilitative care at hospitals and facilities across the country. With a focus on improving patient outcomes, the two health care organisations have worked together since 2006 to provide high-quality care for workers' compensation patients.

“Medway has provided nothing but the highest quality of care and responsive service for Paradigm patients. I look forward to our continued partnership as we strive to provide the best possible outcomes for injured workers and their families,” says Lena Lini, Paradigm AVP, clinical operations.

Medway's contracted in-network status accelerates the flight coordination process, allowing the Medway team to help more Paradigm patients. Over the last year, Medway has grown substantially to accommodate the increased demand for air ambulance transfers, recently adding three more medically configured Learjet 45 aircraft to its fleet and expanding its team of critical care clinicians. The additional flight capability establishes Medway as one of the largest fixed-wing air ambulance providers in the United States.

“Medway's medical flight team has the clinical expertise, in-flight technology and top-of-the-line equipment to transport complex patients with catastrophic injuries, so our partnership with Paradigm is a natural fit,” says Mark Chapman, Medway's VP of business development. “We share a commitment to improving outcomes by helping patients reach the specialty care they need.”

Medway, a Part 135 air carrier, owns and operates its own fleet of Learjets. Headquartered in its recently updated hangar in Lawrenceville, Georgia, Medway's aviation operation holds an ARGUS Gold rating for excellence. Medway is also accredited by the European Air Medical Institute (EURAMI), an organisation that ensures air ambulance providers meet or exceed the highest standards worldwide.
