We are also appreciative of your comprehensive efforts to address the safety concerns of the air medical industry within the reauthorization legislation. Like others in the air medical industry, AAMS is committed to efforts to improve the safety infrastructure for air medical providers, crews, and the patients they serve. Your bill contains a number of provisions that address rapidly- emerging technology and other practices that will surely benefit the industry's efforts for increased safety.…”
