The medical arms race now has health care systems vying for air supremacy.Medical Helicopters
Flight for Life, the nonprofit air ambulance service based in the greater Milwaukee area, will open an air base in Fond du Lac next month that puts it in a position to draw patients from similar services in Neenah and Madison.
This means that to break even, Flight for Life will need to take market share away from ThedaCare in the Fox Valley or UW Health in Madison.
UW Health â?? which transported 1,312 patients last year through UW Med Flight â?? declined to comment on how Flight for Lifeâ??s new base could affect its service.
