History
Air Evac Services, Inc. was established in 1969, in Phoenix, Arizona. Doctors at the Samaritan Hospital saw a need for prenatal and neonatal transportation from remote locations around Arizona. Arizona at the time had a high mortality rate of infants, newborns and mothers. By establishing Air Evac Service, Inc. the death rate, in Arizona, was reduced. Later years showed need for golden hour life saving transports within the city of Phoenix, Arizona so Air Evac Services, Inc. started providing helicopter service for injuries of car crashes and medical emergencies. Phoenix, Arizona is a unique location which allows for aircraft to be landed on city streets. In 1998 Petroleum Helicopters, Inc (PHI) purchased Air Evac Services, Inc. from Samaritan Healthcare.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“The history of his present majesty, is a history of unremitting injuries and usurpations ... all of which have in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world, for the truth of which we pledge a faith yet unsullied by falsehood.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
