LifeNet, Inc is a not-for-profit corporation providing cost effective, high quality ground and air ambulance services throughout Northeast Texas, Southwest Arkansas, and Central Oklahoma. We operate two helicopter medical programs, based in Texarkana and Hot Springs. Either aircraft can be airborne within ten (10) minutes once the necessary validation of air transport is made. The service is available for scene calls or inter-facility transports within a 150-mile radius of either base. Our fixed wing aircraft is available for patients when emergency air transport is required and the use of the helicopter is not feasible. Fixed wing flights can be performed in all types of weather and over longer distances, reducing the out of hospital time and risk to the patient. We are a private, not-for-profit organization governed by a community-based Board of Directors.
