Lori Metayer, RN, BSN, CFRN, EMT-P

A 1984 graduate of the Central Maine Medical Center School of Nursing, Lori went on to earn her bachelor’s degree in nursing from the University of Southern Maine in Portland and later gained paramedic certification.

Her nursing career began in the CMMC Intensive Care Unit. She was later named manager of the Orthopedic-Neurosurgery Nursing Unit and then worked for three years as a nursing supervisor, but her interest in critical care nursing drew her back to the ICU and Emergency Department. In 1998, she was named CMMC’s Emergency Nurse of the Year and immediately joined the newly forming LifeFlight program. Lori is a member of the national outreach committee for the Association of Air Medical Services and has presented educational programs throughout Maine and nationally. She has also led LifeFlight’s work both in Maine and nationally in developing blood donor programs.

She lives in Lisbon Falls with her husband, Shawn, a former LifeFlight paramedic, and their children, Bryan, Kayla, Lauren and Katrina. She spends her time off following her kids’sports activities, skiing and riding her Harley-Davidson.
