Sublette County Health is proud to announce that a new, locally-owned air medical provider, 307 Air Rescue, will soon be based full-time at the hospital’s helipad—bringing critical care transport even closer to home for Sublette County residents.
Since opening its new hospital in August 2025, Sublette County Health has made significant strides in expanding access to care. As the last county in Wyoming to establish a hospital, the mission has always been clear: keep patients close to home whenever possible. At the same time, leaders recognize that in certain critical situations, rapid air transport is essential.
"This is exactly the kind of growth we hoped to see," said Sublette County Health Interim CEO Bill Patten. "Our hospital’s success is not only improving care locally—it’s attracting new services to the community. The addition of 307 Air Rescue strengthens our ability to respond when minutes matter most."
307 Air Rescue will create approximately a dozen local jobs, including pilots, flight medics, mechanics, and critical care nurses. 307 Air Rescue LLC. is a locally focused air medical program led by professionals with deep roots in Wyoming and a long-standing commitment to the communities they serve.
Program leadership includes Laura Woolery, a sixth-generation Wyoming native with strong ties to Sublette County. Woolery spent more than 15 years serving both full-time and part-time with the Sublette County Hospital District EMS team, where she helped strengthen local critical care capabilities. Her work included developing the district’s Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI) program and leading ventilator training efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. She has since advanced her training as a critical care flight medic and in healthcare leadership and now brings that experience back to the community where she built her career.
"Coming back to Sublette County to help build this program matters to me," said Woolery. "This is my home. I understand the needs of this community, and our focus is making sure patients have access to the level of care they deserve when it matters most."
Woolery is joined by April Larsen, an experienced flight nurse and healthcare executive with more than a decade of leadership across air medical programs in the region. Larsen has led clinical operations, base development, and quality initiatives, with a track record of building strong teams and sustainable programs that serve rural communities.
Together, the leadership team at 307 Air Rescue is building a program grounded in local experience, operational expertise, and a shared commitment in elevating the standard of care for local communities by improving access to critical care across the region.
In addition to emergency transport services, 307 Air Rescue plans to collaborate closely with Sublette County Health by offering staff training opportunities and providing surge support during periods of high demand or emergency response situations.
Importantly, 307 Air Rescue LLC. is an independent company and funded as such. Sublette County Health is not subsidizing its operations. The only shared cost is a portion of a safety fence surrounding the helipad. This partnership ensures enhanced services for the community without additional burden on local taxpayers.
A grand opening celebration will be announced in the coming months, coinciding with the arrival of the helicopter.
Together, Sublette County Health and 307 Air Rescue are committed to delivering high-quality, timely care—right here at home, and when necessary, beyond.
