About MedAire | Remote Medical, Security & Operational Travel Support

THE BEST CARE POSSIBLE, NO MATTER WHERE YOU TRAVEL

For over 40 years, MedAire has delivered the best possible remote medical, security, and operational support to clients in the air, on land, and at sea.

The MedAire team is dedicated to building solutions to mitigate risks to crew, passengers, and guests. In order for people to receive the best care possible, an integrated solution of Expert Care, Education, and Equipment is required.

MedAire pioneered the concept of industry-based comprehensive travel risk mitigation solutions. The expertise developed from providing medical advice and assistance in hundreds of thousands of cases directly influences the content and delivery of the education programs and medical kits we develop for aviation and maritime clients.

EXPERT CARE

At the core of MedAire are our medical, security, and logistics experts. They seamlessly work together to truly deliver expert care, everywhere. Expert care is the basis of the medical and travel security assistance services we provide.

The MedAire team assists with medical, health, travel safety, and security needs – all as close as a phone call. Their experience directly helping clients during real-world challenges drives the development and delivery of every MedAire product and service.

Our remote medical assistance services, including MedLink and crew support, are led by doctors, paramedics, and nurses with extensive experience providing remote medical guidance. The analysis and insight we provide clients in relation to travel safety are provided by our security specialists. The MedAire logistics experts make sure you receive the care you need, when and where you need it.

EDUCATION

MedAire's expertise is carried through to our training courses. After more than forty years of delivering remote assistance, we know the scenarios our clients are likely to face, and we provide training courses to prepare them to respond.

MedAire's expertise and clients' education are interdependent. MedAire’s mission is to educate the industry about preparing for – and responding to – travel safety issues. Educating clients as to the types of issues they may face, and how to confidently respond to those issues, is the basis for all of our training programs.

Our first aid courses, MedAire’s flagship Management of In-flight Illness and Injury training, marine first responder training, and the Travel Risk Awareness training were all developed in-house by medical, triage, and travel safety experts.

EQUIPMENT

The MedAire medical and education teams understand the challenges of being a first responder.

This expertise goes into the development of our medical kits. The physical design of the kits, as well as the inclusion of medications and supplies and their placement within the kits, are all carefully considered.

Backed by over four decades of medical event data harnessed from MedAire’s MedLink service and an expert panel of aviation medical, regulatory, and operational experts, MedAire uses fact-based data to provide clients with medical kits optimally designed for their environment.

The result is the ability for crewmembers to provide timely, accurate care with what they’ve learned in training and with the guidance of MedAire’s medical experts.

The MedAire Medical Product Review Board, comprising senior aviation medical and operational experts, reviews medical kit contents annually to ensure that the kits continue to meet the needs of the airline customer and that applicable regulatory revisions are met, and to consider new medications for client health and cost-containment.

MedAire medical kits are so highly regarded, they have been chosen by the world’s leading aircraft and yacht manufacturers to be the standard medical kits on all new deliveries.

THE PHONE CALL

Joan Sullivan Garrett was a flight nurse on a helicopter crew in Arizona when she received a call for emergency assistance. A child was involved in a rollover accident in the San Tan Mountains in Arizona. The child did not survive the accident, and the events of that day inspired Joan to ensure that basic emergency medical treatment would be available to everyone, no matter where they were.

In the more than forty years since that day, the company Joan founded has become the most respected and experienced provider of remote medical and travel security services for the world's most unique environments - in the sky and at sea.

A LEGACY OF FIRSTS

The solutions that Joan Sullivan Garrett created for the aviation and yachting industries were game-changing.

From the design and development of medical kits built for use by non-medical responders to the innovation of developing the world's first global response center for aviation, MedAire has touched and continues to touch the lives of millions of people.

The insight provided by MedAire from assisting in hundreds of thousands of in-flight medical events was instrumental in the United States Congress's decision to require AEDs (automated external defibrillators) on all commercial airlines.
