AirMed, University Hospital's helicopter transport provider, is temporarily moving its location from the hospital's northeast parking terrace to an area east of the Residence Halls.
The AirMed helicopter pad is currently situated on top of the northeast helipad parking terrace, but the structure will be under construction for the addition of four levels of parking, which will create approximately 200 new stalls for patients and their families.
AirMed determined the RV park located directly east of the Residence Halls was the optimal site because it is large, relatively flat and far from the mountains.
AirMed was established in 1972 as the 8th air medical transport program in the nation.
AirMed's main base is The University of Utah Hospital, an academic medical center, a Level I Trauma Center, a Regional Burn Center and a major tertiary referral site.
CAMTS accredited since 1998, AirMed is committed to providing the safest and highest quality care possible to patients in the Intermountain West.
