10th Anniversary Open House
Celebrating 10 years of service…at our Pittsburg Kansas Base
In 2007, EagleMed LLC brought an air medical helicopter and based it at the Pittsburg airport. We provided care since that time under the name EagleMed 15. In 2016, we underwent a transition into our sister Med-Trans Corporation and with that transition, changed our name to Midwest AeroCare.

Since turning our first rotor, approximately 3,600 patients have been flown to higher levels of care by our dedicated professionals - and we want to celebrate this amazing milestone!
