 Since its first flight in 1984, Vanderbilt LifeFlight
has logged more than 33,000 patient transports. Five thousand
of those belong to just two men – Billy Hamblin and Tom
Grubbs.
Hamblin, a pilot, flew on LifeFlight’s first mission,
and Grubbs, and flight nurse, joined the program six months
later.
“I have a standard,” said John Morris, M.D., director
of the Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care. “It is
the ‘Who can take care of me when I’m sick?’ standard. I want
Billy Hamblin in the front driving, and I want Tom Grubbs in
the back taking care of me.”
For their service to the program, Hamblin and Grubbs
received the 2009 Ross Award, which highlights individuals who
have made remarkable contributions to LifeFlight and the
community. This is the first time anyone within LifeFlight has
received the award, which honors Joseph Ross, M.D., associate
vice chancellor for Health Affairs, emeritus, who helped
establish Vanderbilt LifeFlight.
