HALO (Southern Alberta MedicAir Society) is a dedicated medevac helicopter service for southern Alberta. Their mission is to provide critical emergency medical air transport to trauma victims in remote or inaccessible areas. HALO improves response times and increases coverage for delivering high-quality medical care. The organization operates as a crucial contribution to Alberta's established health service emergency medical system.
Geographically, HALO serves southern Alberta with the capability of extending service to southwest Saskatchewan. The organization is based in Medicine Hat, Alberta, where they maintain their administrative office. Their dedicated helicopter service is especially valuable in the remote regions of southern Alberta where established landing strips may be limited or unavailable.
HALO Air Ambulance operates as the only Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) Program dedicated to southern Alberta. The program began in July 2007 after extensive planning and fundraising efforts. HALO is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors who work to keep the service operational. The organization receives minimal government funding and relies primarily on donations from individuals, corporate partners, and regional municipalities. Importantly, no patient has ever received a bill from HALO for their services.
