TOKI's AirMedCare Membership and Services
In the Fall of 2016, the Town of Kiawah Island entered into a membership agreement with the AirMedCare Network to offer emergency air transport services to individuals who reside or own property in the Town of Kiawah Island.

Under the agreement, any individual who is transported for medical necessity by MEDUCARE Air (or any AirMedCare Network provider) will be covered under the terms and conditions of a standard AirMedCare Network membership, provided the transport originates from a location in Charleston County. Currently, the landing sites used on Kiawah Island are Night Heron Park, the Ocean Course and Freshfields.  

As an optional benefit of the Town’s agreement, Kiawah Island residents may take advantage of upgrading to a full AirMedCare Network Membership to gain full coverage with no pickup location or insurance coverage restrictions at a discounted rate of $35 annually.
