Dallas, TX (March 14, 2008) Med-Trans Corp. and Northwest Texas Healthcare System (NWTHS), announced their partnership today and that they will add a second helicopter to their air medical transport service effective April 1, 2008. The service will be operated in a partnership with Med-Trans Corporation, a leading provider of air ambulance programs, headquartered in Dallas, Texas.

"We have been reviewing the air transport needs of the region for some time," said Frank Lopez, NWTHS Chief Executive Officer. "We are pleased that this partnership will enable us to meet the growing regional transport needs with the same service, clinical quality and medical professionals that our community partners and residents have received for the past fourteen years. Additionally, our partnership with a top-quality and growth-oriented air medical provider such as Med-Trans Corporation facilitates significant aviation related resources that will enable NWTHS LIFESTAR to flourish in the years to come." The partnership with Med-Trans Corporation will provide two new aircraft, a Bell 407 and an EC 135. The familiar LIFESTAR color scheme will be continued on the new aircraft.

The current NWTHS air transport service, LIFESTAR, celebrates its 15th anniversary in August of 2008. "The same talented staff that has provided excellent air medical transport patient care will continue do so," said Lopez.

LIFESTAR serves approximately 150 mile radius including Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas.

Lopez said, "We feel very fortunate to work with dedicated and exceptional EMS agencies, dispatch personnel and hospital staff and look forward to continuing our relationships in serving them on an expanded basis." Fred Buttrell, President and Chief Executive Officer of Med-Trans Corporation, said, "Northwest Texas Healthcare System has done a tremendous job servicing EMS systems and communities throughout the region and providing outstanding patient care. The LIFESTAR air medical transport program has a 15-year legacy and is known as one of the leading flight programs in the region. It is a privilege to be partnering with Northwest Texas Healthcare and we are very excited about the future of the LIFESTAR programs."
