Air ambulance or medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) services in Canada are typically operated by third parties including non-governmental organizations and private contractors working on behalf of a provincial health authority, with a mix of fixed wing and rotary wing (Helicopter Emergency Medical Service or HEMS) fleets in use.
