US based air ambulance Peak Medevac achieves NAAMTA accreditation

Peak Medevac International, a long-distance air ambulance company headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, has been awarded accreditation by the National Accreditation Alliance of Medical Transport Applications (NAAMTA) for its existing bases in Arizona, Colorado and Florida. As part of the accreditation process, NAAMTA conducted a comprehensive evaluation of Peak Medevac's policies and practices related to patient care and safety as well as extensive on-site evaluation of the company.

"We are thrilled to announce our NAAMTA accreditation," said Dr. Mary Katherine Harper, medical director for Peak Medevac. "This is a reflection of tremendous teamwork and our dedication to being a leader in this industry. We are proud of this accomplishment and look forward to continuing our journey with NAAMTA as a partner."

NAAMTA is ISO 9001 compliant. Just like with the organisations it accredits, NAAMTA undergoes its own ISO 9001 internal audit process every three years to demonstrate continued compliance with the rigorous requirements of ISO.

"Because Peak Medevac was founded by industry veterans, NAAMTA accreditation was the goal for us from the first patient we ever moved," explains Robert Higginson, programme director for Peak Medevac, "It's more than just a badge on our website. NAAMTA accreditation represents a lot of planning and hard work, but more importantly it represents an ongoing commitment to excellence."
