Gallup Med Flight

Recently we celebrated 30 years of Gallup Med Flight and the incredible legacy of service, commitment, and care this program has brought to Gallup, New Mexico and the surrounding communities. We were grateful to have team members, partners, community supporters, and special guests with us to recognize this important milestone.

🚁 MEET THE TEAM 🚁

Meet Nate Madore, , and one of our dedicated who brings nearly two decades of healthcare experience to every mission. With 19 years in healthcare and four years in flight medicine, Nate was inspired to join the air medical field to expand his clinical reach and challenge himself with advanced equipment, technology, and hands-on learning opportunities.

For Nate, the hardest part of the job is also what makes it so rewarding: healthcare is constantly evolving. Staying resilient, adaptable, and open to learning is essential in this line of work, and he embraces that challenge every day. When it comes to preparing for a shift, Nate says it’s almost instinctive. The moment he walks into the base, his mindset shifts into always being ready.

He believes one of the most important qualities for success in air medical is a willingness to learn and remain teachable, no matter how much experience you have. Outside of work, Nate enjoys kayaking, fishing, and spending quality time with loved ones. Something many people may not know about him is his strong passion for wildlife conservation.

If he could choose anyone to transport someday, it would be Johnny Cash. And the quote that keeps him grounded through it all? “You are a paramedic, but being a paramedic does not define you.”
