US based company; Critical Care Concepts, was awarded the contract by Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince, Prince Sultan bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud, to train and augment staffing of the countries newest helicopter EMS system.

SUFFOLK, Virginia, Sept 13, 2011 – Critical Care Concepts, Inc. (www.CriticalCareConcepts.net) an inter-national leading authority of critical care and air medical service staffing and education, has completed

training and precepting over 100 Emergency Physicians and Paramedics from Saudi Arabia to staff the countries first national Helicopter EMS system.

With nearly 30 helicopters expected to be operational at a given time, the newly operational helicopter system will treat and transport some of the country’s most devastating trauma patients ever before seen, many of these resulting from automobile accidents.

As the leading authority of air medical services, Critical Care Concepts actually wrote the book when it comes to their field. Their textbook, “Critical Care Patient Transport, Principles and Practice, 5 Edition”

(ISBN# 978-0615242675) has been used by thousands of Flight Nurses and Flight Paramedics in the US and abroad, to better prepare for one of the most challenging certification examinations a healthcare provider can take.

Director of Operations for Critical Care Concepts and textbook writer, Richard A. Patterson states, “It is truly a pleasure to be a part of such a vital role that these Physicians play in the treatment and transport of patients within Saudi Arabia. Our entire team of experts have been humbled and welcomed by the government and community of Saudi Arabia. With tumultuous relations amongst the United States and the Middle East in recent years, and in the wake of our ten year anniversary of 9-11, we are proud to be a part of mending bridges and improving healthcare and relations in that part of the world.”

As an FAA Certificated Flight Instructor for helicopters and airplanes, and as a Flight Paramedic himself for nearly two decades, Richard Patterson sees the vital role that his company plays in the public perception of

affairs within the Middle East. “In the United States, we really take for granted many of the liberties we have been blessed with and forget that education usually is the best resolve for building relations, improving

healthcare, and helping our fellow man”, says Richard.
