We are so excited to announce Medi-Ops will be bringing a new kind of service to the medical community in Colorado and surrounding states. Throughout medical history, time has always been a valuable factor in the preservation of life. Life-threatening situations require prompt transport. Here in Colorado, traffic is constantly rising, increasing transport times to an unsafe level. This is why we have been working hard with our team, and the state of Colorado, to create a solution. Recently, Medi-Ops has been working with Colorado State Patrol to authorize our fleet as emergency vehicles! We are so excited to offer transport of blood, organs, and other specimens via a vehicle outfitted with over $8000 in emergency lighting and a multi-tone siren. This new service is proven to save hours during transportation of blood to receiving facilities. Recently, we spoke to the director of Parker Adventist Hospital about situations where this service is proved not just valuable, but life saving.

A young mom, eight and a half months pregnant, walks into the emergency room in extreme distress. Due to complications, the mom is immediately brought to labor and delivery for cesarean section. During the delivery, mom starts bleeding out. It becomes apparent to doctors and nurses that she needs a blood transfusion. At this point, the hospital calls a local blood bank and Medi-Ops is contacted for the emergency transport of the blood. Within minutes, a Medi-Ops team is activated and drives emergent to the blood bank. The blood is then carefully delivered to the receiving hospital just, in time to save the mothers life. These are the situations Medi-Ops deals with every day! We are excited to bring this new service to all of our clients – for blood transport, organ transport, and the alike.
