REACH Air Medical Services (REACH) today announced its newest air medical transport base in Colusa County is now in service. Located in Williams along Interstate 5, the new base will provide service to Colusa County and the surrounding regions.
“The opening of this air medical operation in Colusa County will have a significant impact on residents and visitors during times of critical illness or injury,” said Vicky Spediacci, air chief operating officer for REACH parent company Global Medical Response. “We look forward to working alongside other local first responders and healthcare providers to enhance the delivery of timely medical care to the community.”
The Williams base is staffed round-the-clock by highly trained and experienced pilots, flight nurses, and flight paramedics and is maintained by on-site aviation maintenance technicians. The Airbus H-125 helicopter operated at this base is medically configured with the latest avionics and safety features.
“The Williams Fire Protection Authority is proud to welcome REACH to the community of Williams,” said Jeff Gilbert, fire chief for Williams Fire Protection Authority. “Having an air medical helicopter located in Colusa County will greatly benefit critical patients by expediting their transport to definitive care.”
