The CAMTS accreditation is awarded to programs that meet or exceed a set of rigorous and regularly updated criteria, ensuring both patient and staff safety during medical transport.
“CAMTS accreditation reinforces Geisinger’s commitment to safe, high-quality care for every patient under our care,” said David Schoenwetter, DO, division chief hospital medicine, Geisinger. “Our team works tirelessly to be a leader in our communities and provide comprehensive air transportation to our patients in their most dire times of need.”
