Altru Care Flight

Altru Care Flight is an air ambulance transport program that serves patients across the Red River Valley.

A Pilatus PC 12 fixed-wing aircraft anchors the service and is located at the Grand Forks Regional Airport. The air ambulance is equipped with the latest and most advanced lifesaving equipment and a critical care trained medical staff, composed of paramedics and registered nurses, to safely transport patients to their next medical destination.

In August of 2019, Altru Care Flight began offering neonatal patient transportation services.

Patient Benefits

Altru Care Flight can transport patients at a greater rate of speed, through challenging weather conditions, has space for additional passengers, and provides the industry-leading healthcare that Altru Health System is known for at a more reasonable cost than helicopter medical transports.

For emergencies, please call 911
To make an emergency or hospital transfer to Altru, call 855.4ALTRU1 (855.425.8781).
