The only transport system in the region dedicated exclusively to neonates, children, and now expectant mothers.

The Children’s Mercy Critical Care Transport Team has been designed to bridge the gap between Children’s Mercy and other medical facilities.CMCCT provides ground and air transport.  CMH fleet consists of 13 ground ambulances, 1 EC-145 helicopter, 1 King Air 200 and 1 Lear Jet. The transport team is directed by Children’s Mercy neonatologists, pediatric intensivists, and maternal fetal medicine specialists, while the crews consist of advanced life support-trained critical care nurses, respiratory therapists, paramedics and emergency medical technicians. Our maternal fetal transport teams also include a nurse with extensive high-risk obstetrical experience.  More than 5,700 specialty transports were completed last year, once again placing us among the busiest specialty teams in the country.  CMCCT crews are prepared, skilled and confident in their ability to care for expectant mothers and critically ill children throughout the transport process.
