UW Hospital staff struggles to deal with the loss of their colleagues.
Mark Hanson, Program Manager for the UW Hospital Med Flight program, says it was their decision to ground their second medical helicopter until they feel they are emotionally ready to take flight again. That chopper was voluntarily grounded after Saturday night’s fatal crash in LaCrosse. Hanson says the staff is undergoing stress debriefing sessions and they’ll return to flight when they’re good and ready.
