“We Serve the Whole State of Maine, and We’re It”
— LifeFlight of Maine CEO Joe Kellner On Maine’s Statewide Critical Care Mission
LifeFlight of Maine CEO Joe Kellner joined Corenna and David for an in-depth conversation about the organization’s statewide mission and the critical care it provides to Mainers when minutes matter most.
Kellner explains how LifeFlight operates by helicopter, airplane and critical care ground ambulance, transporting some of Maine’s sickest and most seriously injured patients. He discusses the growing demand for services, how crews reach patients in remote areas, landing on highways, logging roads and fields, and the extensive safety measures involved in every mission.
The conversation also explores the changing rural healthcare landscape, including hospital services and OB unit closures, the emotional toll emergency response can take on first responders, LifeFlight’s peer-support and behavioral-health initiatives, and the financial challenges facing the nonprofit organization. Kellner also discusses rising operating costs, philanthropy, plans for a second airplane, and the need to ensure LifeFlight remains available to communities throughout Maine.
Kellner shares his own path from paramedic to CEO and LifeFlight’s vision for the future: providing equitable access to critical care whether someone is in a populated community or deep in rural Maine.
The program airs statewide each weekend on The Voice of Maine and WLOB Portland, can be heard worldwide through TuneIn, and is available on demand at QPointPodcast.com, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, and YouTube Music.
