By Mark Glover, Sacramento Bee
Calstar, the regional air ambulance service, and Santa Rosa’s Reach Air Medical Services announced Thursday that they are entering into a merger agreement that will create the largest network of air ambulance bases in California.
Officials said the agreement will position Calstar within the same holding company as Reach.
In a joint announcement, Sean Russell, Reach president, and Calstar CEO Lynn Malmstrom, said Calstar will become a limited liability company and operate under the current Calstar brand as Calstar Air Medical Services LLC.
