Safety has bearing on every decision we make and our commitment to this cause is steadfast. Because the safety of our patients, employees, and healthcare partners is what matters most.

Humble brag alert! Brenda Weiler, our esteemed chief administrative officer, and chief of staff was selected as one of Portland Business Journal’s top 40 under 40 executives, chosen from a competitive pool of over 200 nominees. This is a prestigious honor within the Portland business community, and we couldn’t be prouder to see her receive this well-deserved recognition. Brenda joined LFN in February 2008 as an administrative assistant, where she initially managed the membership and administrative departments and provided crucial support to the CEO. Over the past sixteen years, she has advanced through various roles including executive administrative assistant, senior executive administrative assistant, and now serves in her current dual capacity. Brenda’s impact on LFN has been profound—her intellect, drive, kindness, and mentorship are evident in every aspect of our organization. Congratulations, Brenda. We are fortunate to have your leadership helping to drive our organization’s success. LFN wouldn’t be where it is today without your invaluable contributions. https://lnkd.in/gq8AnJ8m

The face of a caregiver. Dog tired after a late night that extended into early morning. Yet, she still smiles. Because caring for those in need provides a level of satisfaction that outweighs the fatigue. She knows she has played a role in someone’s survival. And there’s no greater energizer than that. … #lifeflightnetwork #therewhenyouneedus #savinglives #caregivers #lifeflight #airambulance #ems #emergencymedicine

--SURVIVAL STORY-- It was a sunny day in June and Mike was out enjoying a motorcycle ride through Linn County, Oregon. Having been away for a couple of days, his wife and kids returned home from their travels to find his bike gone. They thought nothing of it, knowing sunny days in Oregon are limited and Mike loved being on his motorcycle. A short time later, Valerie received a text message that Mike had been in an accident. He'd been struck by another vehicle and his condition was serious. Mike’s riding partners Don Soto, Rebecca Zimmick, and Lauren Conser jumped into action. Lauren left to find cell service and call 911. Sweet Home Fire Department arrived at the scene and upon assessing his injuries, made the call to activate Life Flight Network. Our crew arrived to find Mike unconscious and requiring roadside intubation due to a collapsed lung. He was stabilized and transported to PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center RiverBend in Springfield, Oregon for further evaluation and treatment. “I knew he was in good hands. As an emergency department employee, I know that Life Flight Network’s crews are the best-trained clinical care personnel in Oregon, says Valerie “I will always be thankful to them for keeping my husband alive.” Mike doesn’t remember anything from the day of the accident or the week leading up to it but six months later, had the opportunity to connect with the flight crew that saved him. “I was really impressed with their professionalism and kindness. I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for them.” #lifeflightnetwork #therewhenyouneedus #survivalstory #savinglives #airmedical #airambulance #criticalcare #ems #emergencymedicine #healthcare
