Community Outreach

At BannerAir, our mission goes beyond patient transport. We’re proud to serve and connect with the communities we fly over every day. Through local events, public education and partnerships with first responders, our teams work to promote safety, awareness and connection across Arizona. 

Supporting our communities 

BannerAir crews and staff actively participate in community outreach throughout the year. From flying Santa into local schools to sponsoring educational events, our team is dedicated to giving back. 

We participate in and support a variety of community activities, including: 

  • Touch a Truck Event 
  • Tackle Trauma 5K 
  • Phoenix Children’s 5K and Kid Dash 
  • Surprise G.A.I.N. Community Fair 
  • Phoenix Children’s Pediatric Symposium 
  • Aviation Fascination 
  • Santa Gatherings at schools and holiday events 
  • Arizona Fire Chief’s Conference 

We’re also proud members of several Fire Chief Associations across Arizona, helping strengthen communication and coordination among emergency response teams statewide. 

Education opportunities for first responders 

BannerAir provides ongoing educational opportunities designed to support emergency medical service (EMS) professionals and improve coordination during critical care transport. 

Our educational offerings include: 

  • Hands-on trauma scene simulations 
  • Landing zone and helicopter operations training 
  • Mock adult and pediatric code scenarios 
  • Personalized training sessions with continuing education (CE) credits 
  • Access to a high-quality simulation lab at Banner’s Mesa Corporate facility 

All programs are led by experienced BannerAir clinicians and educators and can be tailored to meet the needs of individual departments.
