The November 2011 Beacon explains how a Beaver Island medical-evacuation call activates the Coast Guard chain from the local EMS and Health Center to District 9, a flight surgeon, the ready crew, and a receiving hospital. The article reports 3 Beaver Island air evacuations in 2009, 10 in 2010, and 8 through October 1, 2011. It describes the roughly thirty-minute flight, on-island EMS transfer, and onward ambulance destinations.
