RENO, Nev. – REMSA Health and Care Flight, a service of REMSA Health, have promoted Vanessa Coyle to Director of Care Flight Operations.

In her new role, Coyle will report to Barry Duplantis, Interim CEO, and will oversee Care Flight critical care operations. Coyle made significant contributions to the Care Flight division after being promoted to the role of operations manager in May 2022.

In addition to continuing her work as a clinician, Coyle collaborates with requesting agencies and first-response partners.
