Who is Betty Wood’s?

Betty Ann Woods was an employee at Logan Health Medical Center for 28 years. She also sat on the board of the Three Rivers Ambulance. Betty began her career at Logan Health in the ICU (intensive care unit) as a Cardiac Nurse, this was when she took her first A.L.E.R.T. flight. From there, Betty transferred to the Emergency Department to fulfill her dream of flying A.L.E.R.T. regularly. Betty felt that emergency services were the backbone of our community and even went the extra mile to help train other EMS (emergency medical services) in the field. Betty answered her last page on September 10th, 2006. Gone, but far from forgotten.
