Area ambulance company faces new challenges during pandemic

EagleMed transports critically ill or injured patients by land or air to hospitals across the midwest. “You never know, we might have a COVID patient this time and then the next one might be a young child with Leukemia. You have to be prepared and keep it safe for everyone,” says Kurt Burkhart, EagleMed flight nurse. During the pandemic, staff are seeing new challenges, leading to more stress on themselves and the patients. “It’s a lot more strategy and logistics, we have to figure out, can we do the transport? Do we have the fuel capacity? If we have to get fuel, where do we get it?”
