Critical Care Transport Team

We have the most experienced transport team in the region. It is capable of safely transporting critically ill pulmonary and cardiac patients by ground or by air. Legacy's transport team consists of an ECMO physician, our ECMO physician assistant, ECMO nurse primer, critical care nurse, and respiratory therapist.  In the last decade alone, we have transported more than 450 patients. We have a dedicated ambulance, in partnership with MetroWest, that has been customized for our ECMO team and is ready to act as a mobile ICU during transport. We are proud to transport patients across the Pacific Northwest.
