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.
