Yale New Haven Health recently welcomed its second SkyHealth critical care transport helicopter. The helicopter and crew will join the first, which launched in 2014 as a partnership between YNHHS and Northwell Health in New York. From its base at Sikorsky Memorial Airport, the second SkyHealth can fly to referring hospitals throughout the Northeast and bring patients to the most appropriate YNHHS hospital for specialized care.
