"This landing pad also serves as AirMed's main base at The University of Utah Hospital, an academic medical center, a Level I Trauma Center, a Regional Burn Center and a major tertiary referral site.

The University hospital provides services for one of the largest geographic areas of the United States, routinely receiving patients from Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and Nevada. AirMed provides air medical transport for the majority of these referral patients.

AirMed utilizes a variety of aircraft; one Bell 430 helicopter, three Bell 407 helicopters, and two Pilatus PC-12 turboprop airplanes.
