Robbinsdale, Minn. – North Memorial Health is celebrating a milestone in healthcare, with 2025 marking 40 years of air care coverage.

Over 40 years, the team has grown – seven helicopters now take calls every day throughout the state and surrounding areas.

The team treats more than 85,000 patients each year, many of whom experience life-threatening concerns.

“It’s hard to describe how important it is to be part of air care,” says Mark Slettum, a 24-year-old air care physician. “It has been a wonderful journey – and one that we hope continues for years to come.”

The team manages more than 300 transport requests every day, but not all days are the same.

“In the heat of the moment, you haven’t thought about it much — you have one job to do, and that is the best patient care you can deliver,” Slettum said. “We’ve been able to have 40 years of opportunities to get into the communities that our area serves. It really gives you a sense of joy to just be part of that journey with them.”
