The Children’s Hospital & Medical Center in Omaha, Neb., has introduced a dedicated helicopter and is building a temporary helipad during a separate construction project, according to an article on the Live Well Nebraska website.
Children’s is adding the Hubbard Center for Children, a nine-story, clinical facility set to open in 2021. Because of the project, Children’s has three giant construction cranes on site.
The hospital’s transport teams currently are using a helipad at neighboring Methodist Hospital
The temporary helipad in a nearby lot will give pilots bound for either hospital another option. Because of an increase in pediatric transports, Children’s is also launching a dedicated helicopter, which it’s calling Kids Force One.
