On Saturday 8 August 2020, The Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter was dispatched to Onemana on the Coromandel, 6km north of Whangamata. A female in her 70s had complained of a headache the night prior and was found unconscious the next morning. The status 1 patient was transported to Waikato Hospital while being monitored by our onboard Intensive Care Paramedic.
We here at the Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter have a policy of keeping the media informed of our work. We do this as a service to the media and in an effort to raise our profile with the public to assist with our fundraising campaigns. Our service is only possible because of sponsor support and donations. We appreciate seeing our name in any stories utilising information supplied by us.
