Nightingale
Sentara's air ambulance Nightingale, named for Florence Nightingale, began in late-February 1982 as the region's first air ambulance and the 38th air medical program in the country. Based at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, Nightingale serves a 125-mile radius, flying as far north as Washington, D.C. as far south as Ocracoke Island, east to the Eastern Shore and west to Charlottesville, Va. The ambulance has reached out to more than 16,000 patients since its inception, providing rapid transport of the critically ill or injured from a scene of an accident, or from one medical facility to another with more specialized critical care capabilities.
Nightingale is equipped with high-tech cardiac and pulmonary equipment, including an intra-aortic balloon pump and sophisticated 12-lead EKG monitor, helping the flight nurse and paramedic provide state-of-the-art care in flight.
