Night Vision Goggles

While we are extremely proud of our safety record, we feel very strongly that we need to give our crews every tool to carry out their missions in the safest manner possible.  NVGs will help our pilots and medical crews at night as they identify rural landing sites and avoid obstacles.  We still won’t fly if it isn’t safe, but NVGs will help us deal with variables during a mission.  What are Night Vision Goggles and how do they work?  Why do we need them and how will our crews benefit?  What do our pilots think?  What is involved in establishing a night vision goggle program and how much will it cost?

We're glad you asked.  Click here to see a short video on NVG's or just continue on to read more...

"I was hit by an auto in Lockport on 08/22/09 while riding a bicycle. I was transferred to ECMC by Mercy Flight.  I would just like to say thank you very much for your staff's professionalism and kindness. I feel they saved my life!  I don't know their names, but I wish I could thank them in person somehow.  They would probably say they were just doing their jobs, but to me they are all real heroes.  I wish there were more people in the world like them!   D.F.
