Blood Donation: Need, Facts, and How YOU can Save Lives

Human blood is a commodity that we may not always consider – human blood cannot be created, but, rather, it must be donated. Every 2 seconds, someone in the United States needs blood or platelets. Patients, such as a mom and baby in need of a lifesaving transfusion, rely on the frequent donation of blood product. Our team at Medi-Ops strongly recommends anyone who is able to donate, contact their local blood bank to explore their donation options.

If you live in Colorado, you can contact Vitalant at 877-25-VITAL or at Vitalant.org!

We are proud to be a transportation partner of Vitalant to help in the distribution of human blood product across Colorado and surrounding states.

Saving Lives, One Transport at a Time: Lights and Sirens Courier

Medi-Ops is the most innovative courier service because we provide an option for your every transportation need. Often, blood, surgical supplies, organs, etc., need to be transported faster than a STAT order! This is why we offer lights and siren emergency transportation. Emergency medical courier transportation is a new and upcoming field but, we have been offering this service for years. 

When you place an emergency order, we activate one of our emergency units which operate under very strict guidelines; similar to those police departments use. Given our relationship with Colorado State Patrol, we are able to utilize traffic law exemptions to get your specimen or supplies where they need to be, as fast as possible! This service is great for hospitals/medical centers, as well as organ and blood banks. Emergency courier, with lights and sirens transportation, is the most safe and time effective out of all our ground transport options. 

Because we pride ourselves on handling every detail of your transportation, we provide live and up to date tracking information to any email or phone number you provide. This leaves you worry free! We will always connect you with the most efficient operator for your transportation – in house or otherwise! We also have relationships with many emergent ambulance service providers should you need to transport medical teams, doctors, surgeons, nurses, etc. or any variety of other medical transportation. 

Not only does emergent transportation provide a faster alternative to medical transportation, it saves lives. You will not find a faster and more attentive team to transport your life-saving blood, organs, or surgical supplies. You will always be in the best hands with Medi-Ops and their emergent teams.

New Aircraft Operator for Medical Delivery!

Medi-Ops is proud to announce our newest partnership with Colorado Heli-Ops! We partner to deliver our clients a variety of charter services concerning the transport of medical specimens including organs, blood, antivenin, and other life saving pharmaceuticals. This new service will serve the citizens of rural Colorado by providing medical supplies faster than ever before!

Colorado Heli-Ops was founded in 2009 and has been providing world class services to the aviation community ever since. Through hard work and dedication, their staff obtained an FAA part 135 certificate, allowing Heli-Ops to charter their aircraft throughout Colorado. We are excited to connect our two industries. 

Medi-Ops will provide connections to hospitals and continue to provide 24/7 dispatching, tracking, and coordination for chartered flights- now conducted by Heli-Ops!

By partnering, we have acquired even more tools to continue to decrease costs of medical cargo transportation- by air or ground. By operating smaller rotor aircraft, and specially outfitted ground units, we further allow hospitals to directly transport specimens for cheaper. In turn, patients will also pay less!

In the upcoming months, we will conduct mock operations to properly train all personnel involved, and report detailed risk assessments. We are excited to offer these services to medical facilities across Colorado and surrounding states . Enjoy the photos of our most recent photo shoot!
