Air medical transport company Peak Medevac International said on Thursday that one of its COVID-19 frontline worker and contractor for Peak Medevac Roman Valles has been safely transferred back to his homeland Colorado upon contracting Coronavirus in Texas.

The company added that Valles is a respiratory therapist and had been treating patients in Arlington, Texas when he began to have symptoms of COVID -19. Prior to working in Texas, Valles had a two-month assignment in New York working directly on the frontline.

Without insurance and worried that he couldn't get back to his family in Colorado after his symptoms worsened, Peak Medevac stepped in to take care of one of their warriors and continues to help those in need throughout the pandemic.

With a compassionate team of highly trained medical air transport experts, Peak Medevac offers domestic and international air ambulance service as well as global medical repatriation.
