The Ride Along Program has been Temporarily Suspended due to COVID-19

Mercy Health Life Flight Network will once again offer its “Ride Along Program” to all EMS, Fire, Law Enforcement, Critical Care RNs and Dispatch personnel who are our requestors in the areas we serve. The ride along program allows you to respond with the Life Flight team to any scene flight, or inter hospital transport, which Life Flight is requested. Since the “Ride Along Program” began over thirty years ago, we have enjoyed meeting and flying with thousands of our colleagues throughout our service area.

A ride along safety orientation must be completed prior to scheduling your eight-hour flight shift. The orientation classes are held at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center, in the Gerri Webb room on the main floor. The classes begin at 7:00pm and last approximately two hours. Operational considerations limit the maximum body weight of buddy flyers to 230 lbs.

This year for your convenience you may schedule your eight-hour flight shift at the following Life Flight base sites: Mercy St. Vincent Toledo (LF1), Wauseon (LF2), and Clyde, Ohio (LF4).

The ride along safety orientation classes will be held on the following dates:
