Mayo MedAir
Accreditation

Mayo MedAir follows the most stringent air safety standards and procedures.

Mayo MedAir is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Services (CAMTS), the industry's most respected stamp-of-approval for all aspects of air safety and quality.

Mayo One (Mayo's emergency medical helicopter service) and Mayo MedAir were the first air transport services in Minnesota, Iowa or Wisconsin to receive this accreditation in 1996. Mayo One and Mayo MedAir are still the only accredited services in the state of Minnesota. This certification is renewed every three years. To become accredited, the services are evaluated on safety standards, education, equipment, staffing, communications, maintenance and administration.

CAMTS is an independent organization made up of representation from 13 professional groups associated with air medical transport. Some of the groups are the National Air Transportation Association, the Air Medical Physician Association and the Air and Surface Transport Nurses Association. CAMTS was started in 1991.
