Vanderbilt LifeFlight is committed to working with the community to provide the highest levels of safety and patient care. We offer several educational programs:
Outreach Program
The LifeFlight Outreach program keeps us in touch with front-line practitioners working in EMS, Hospitals, Law Enforcement, Fire Departments and the public in general. This section will outline the many education and public relations functions we provide as well as information on how to request these services.
