Honolulu Hospital News

When a worker on a remote island in the South Pacific had a heart attack, a physician and a nurse were there from Remote Medical International to treat his symptoms. Within hours, Remote Medical operations specialists back at the company’s Seattle headquarters secured a plane and a crew to fly the man 2,400 miles to a Honolulu hospital for treatment, where he survived. A U.S. medical station in Antarctica wanted to consolidate from multiple subcontractors into a seamless, integrated operation. Remote Medical set up 24-hour telemedicine consultants for physicians on the ground and built two ambulances custom-designed for the arctic conditions.
