Northern California-based Reach Medical Holdings LLC announced on Dec. 22 that it is opening an air ambulance base at the Viejas Indian Reservation near Alpine, where it will station a helicopter.
It is the sixth Reach vehicle providing service in Southern California.
Santa Rosa-based Reach said it worked with the Viejas band and its fire department for several years to place the air ambulance. Reach will provide its service with a two-engine Airbus EC135 helicopter.
Reach provides emergency transportation in California, Oregon, Nevada, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming and Texas. The company is part of Texas-based Air Medical Group Holdings. Investment firm KKR acquired Air Medical Group in March.
