BEAVER, WV (LOOTPRESS) – Lead Aviation Mechanic, Brian Lemley has been recognized by Air Methods through the Impacting Lives Award, which recognizes select employees for their positive impacts on the community.
The Impacting Lives Award, presented by CEO JaeLynn Williams, is issued each year to multiple recipients by Air Methods – the leading air medical service in the nation.
Lemley himself expressed enthusiasm with having been selected as an award recipient and having contributed positively to the community at large.
“This recognition is an honor,” Lemley said. “It means the work my teammates and I perform is helping the people in our communities.”
Lemley is based in the Beaver area of West Virginia and is tasked with ensuring that the HealthNet Aeromedical Service’s aircraft meets all aviation requirements and is adequately equipped for the task at hand.
Aviation requirements which must be met include compliance with the Federal Aviation Administration and guidelines outlined by the Safety Management System.
“When it comes to air medical transport, safety is paramount, and Lemley’s efforts are essential to ensuring the wellbeing of those on board,” said Air Methods. “Whether he is leading the mechanics team or assisting others where needed, Lemley draws on his background and past experiences.”
Lemley’s background includes a career in the United States Airforce where he served as crew chief on the KC135 refueling aircraft.
“Brian constantly travels to other bases within the HealthNet system to assist other mechanics and pilots and also keep them mission ready,” Regional Director, Travis Mason says. “His knowledge, work ethic, and attention to detail are among the best I’ve ever seen and been around in the aviation industry.”
Lemley was the recipient of a $1,000 bonus along with the Impacting Lives award, for which he was recognized during a quarterly CEO Town Hall meeting.
“Safety is the core value of our service,” Lemley said. “My role is important to provide a safe and reliable aircraft for our patients and crews, ensuring everyone goes home for the day the same as when they arrived at work if not better.”
