Trauma Star Operates in the Black

Trauma Star is operating in the black despite no out-of-pocket costs for County Residents. The program’s operational cost was $6.6 million for Fiscal Year 2018. With an aggressive in-house collection program, Trauma Star has collected $7.9 million. In FY 2017, Trauma Star also operated in the black with $5.6 million in revenues and $4.7 million in operation costs

They aggressively bill non residents, and collect tax payers money to boot!

It's a cash cow for the county and an UNFAIR COMPETITION for those in HAA air commerce!  They are operating public aircraft in air commerce!
