Following a comprehensive audit of administrative documentation, medical practices, and facilities, the National Accreditation Alliance of Medical Transport Applications (NAAMTA) is awarding Aeromed (Traslados Medicos de Puerto Rico) accreditation for their rotor-wing program. We are excited to include them within the NAAMTA Alliance, and thus are privy to the benefits associated.

NAAMTA’s Alliance Members are held in high esteem for meeting stringent requirements that define and influence transport operational excellence. Aeromed has demonstrated compliance in each of the numerous standards, offering documentation on processes for safety, aviation, and medical practices. NAAMTA evaluates compliance through employee interviews, on-site evaluations, and process reviews, all of which was conducted using NAAMTA and ISO 9001:2008 auditing guidelines.

Jose A. Hernandez, II, Aeromed’s Program Director emphasized that “NAAMTA is the first accreditation entity to set foot locally in the 20 years of air medical transport in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is the gateway to the U.S., British, French, and Dutch Virgin Islands in the Caribbean. NAAMTA certification is important to our program since we are in the process of developing global recognition in this highly competitive international market.”

By attaining NAAMTA Accreditation, Aeromed’s industry professionals demonstrate the depth of their medical transport expertise through their dedication to improving patient care and cultivating an environment of safety.

Adam Orgill, NAAMTA’s Aviation Administrator affirms, “A culture of teamwork is ever present at Aeromed evidenced by the consideration and care each employee takes during all phases of the transport.”
