We have overseen thousands of international medical repatriation missions for ill and injured Canadian’s who are returning home to Canada on a medical flight. The team at Western Pacific Emergency Response Ltd. uses dedicated, private air ambulance medical flights staffed with Paramedics and Registered Nurses who tend to all aspects of the patient’s care. Since 2005 we have been providing air ambulance services in Western Canada to a variety of clients. Visit our Projects and Experience page to learn more.
Air Ambulance Base Locations
WPEMS has air ambulance bases located in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Calgary, Alberta.
WPEMS is more than just a private air ambulance service or emergency air transport service. We provide full cycle emergency medical assistance and case management to our clients, something no other air ambulance company does. We use our decades of experience in medical case management to assist patients and families in need, during their time of crisis.
If you need an air ambulance because you are without travel medical insurance coverage, or your travel insurance claim has been denied, Western Pacific Emergency Response will step in to fill this coverage gap and provide you with critical, cost saving emergency medical assistance. When travel medical insurance cannot help, or will not help – we will be there, to offer the same level of expertise and support.
This includes locating a hospital bed in Canada, making sure proper arrangements for the medical repatriation flight or private medical jet are in place, evaluating the condition of the patient before the medical transport occurs, making recommendations for air ambulance transport, identifying cost savings opportunities, and finally, negotiating with the hospital to ensure that your medical costs are contained. Medical cost containment is a key aspect of the services provided by WPEMS. This service can significantly reduce hospital bills encountered during an international medical emergency.
