Since it's founding in 1981, CareFlite Ground has transported over 300,000 patients. CareFlite Ground currently operates ground ambulances and non-medical wheelchair/stretcher vans in the DFW Metroplex. CareFlite has served the citizens of Johnson County, Texas as the primary 911 emergency services provider since 2003. CareFlite employees based in Johnson County respond to over 8,000 calls each year. Johnson County recently extended CareFlite's contract to provide 911 emergency services until 2012.
CareFlite also operates Specialty Care Trucks (SCT) throughout the Metroplex. SCT ambulances are staffed with 3 crew members: a specially trained critical care paramedic (CCEMTP), a paramedic and an EMT. It is a very cost effective way to transfer critically ill patients within the Metroplex. SCT service is available in Dallas, Tarrant and surrounding counties.
As with all CareFlite services, please call (800) 442-6260 to schedule any CareFlite transport service except in Johnson County where all medical emergencies should be responded to by calling 911.
Director of CareFlite Ground Clinical is Doug Filbert who can be reached at (972)339-4260 or by email.
