The team consists of pilots, flight nurses, flight paramedics, mechanics and more. For infants with critical needs, the Covenant Transport Team lends their expertise to support the safe transfers to the Covenant Regional Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (RNICU). The Covenant RNICU is a 55-bed unit, certified to provide the highest level of care for babies in mid to northern Michigan.
