Emergency Transport Requests General Information & Questions
About Angel One Transport Arkansas Children’s Hospital Angel One is a state-of-the-art, intensive care medical transport system for bringing critically ill and injured infants, children, and adolescents as well as adult burn patients from throughout Arkansas and the surrounding states to ACH. We also operate a high risk obstetric (HROB) transport program in partnership with the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. We began operations in 1978 known as Arkansas Newborn Transport Service (ANTS), operating with one ambulance. A fixed-wing aircraft was leased from Central Flying Service in 1982 to accommodate longer distances. In 1985, helicopter operations were begun under the new name of Angel One, utilizing a Bell206-L-1 helicopter. This was upgraded to a light, twin engine helicopter, a Eurocopter BO-105 in 1987 and in 1992 a heavy twin engine Sikorsky S-76-A helicopter was added to the fleet. In 1999, ACH purchased a used Sikorsky S-76 A to replace the original Sikorsky helicopter. Both helicopters were replaced in 2002, and in recent years, we have added two more ground units to bring our fleet to a total of five plus the availability of a fixed-wing aircraft. Angel One provides intesive care medical transportation for the entire state of Arkansas and the surrounding states, covering a radius of approximately 200 miles of Little Rock. With the ability to do mobile ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation), this distance is extended to 300 Nautical Miles. We currently make over 2,100 total transports per year with 1,200 by helicopter. Between July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007, we transported 2,103 patients, of which 918 were NICU, 925 were PICU and 11 were ECMO Transports. Angel One was the first to do mobile ECMO by helicopter and in 1996 became the first pediatric program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Services (CAMTS). Recently, Angel One transitioned the aviation side and began operations under our own FAA Part 135. This accomplishment further shows the dedication of Arkansas Children’s Hospital to the Angel One program. Arkansas Children’s Hospital and Angel One are dedicated to providing Care, Love and Hope… at 180 miles per hour.
