VISION: The Story of LifeFlight’s Revolutionary New Plan

This is a story about rewards in life and people who live their life in service to others. Jon Roebuck is one of those people. He likes his friends to call him JR. He graciously tells everyone that the JR doesn’t stand for Junior. He’s a Communications Specialist at MedComm, the organization that provides communication service to LifeFlight of Maine, Although he has a background in Law Enforcement, in 2003 he began a new career path, one that would lead him to the creation of a new visionary concept in emergency medical transportation. In 2005 he began to think about ways to improve emergency medical access to accident scenes in Maine. JR saw a need for a faster way to get medical help to remote areas. He now heads up an effort, called the Remote Access Project, which seeks to establish safe landing zones (LZs) for the LifeFlight helicopters along Maine’s extensive, remote, recreational trail system. In 2008 he would begin to implement this concept, and in less than a year, 9 different State Of Maine organizations and agencies would be part of a voluntary cooperativeinterrelated effort unlike any other in the United States or Canada. The response state wide was amazing, jumping from 50 LZ’s in the winter of 09, during the first few days of the program, to 120 LZ’s by spring of the same year!
