Working Together Equals Top Notch Care
July 12, 2024
Michael Mulkey, CEO and Brandon Harris, Emergency Department Director visited McMinnville Fire Department (MFD) to recognize their crews for going above and beyond during an incident on May 14th. A critical patient was going to a Portland area hospital via a medical helicopter when the helicopter experienced a mechanical issue before take-off. A second helicopter was able to land nearby and MFD crews quickly assisted in transferring the patient to the second awaiting helicopter. These quick actions ensured the patient made it to the Portland hospital with minimal delays.

We work close with our first responder partners. When we all work together, the community benefits with top notch care. Thank you to MFD crews and ED for doing what’s best for all patients.
