I do not believe it was a medical extraction, just a crew pick up
I believe that that is a WestPac Rescue helicopter. They fly ALS medevac and SAR too including both water and cliff rescue with their hoist. They are crewed by paramedic rescue techs and flight physicians. There used to be documentary series on Hulu about them, not finding it today though.
Looked like a good LZ, but I am shocked that they were that close with the patient and a crew during the landing…
