Unknown. The identifier US-10207 is listed as 'closed' in several unofficial aviation databases, but a specific date for this status change is not available. The designation appears to be a legacy or non-standard identifier that is no longer active.
The reason is not officially documented and is not attributed to a specific event like an accident, economic issues, or military conversion. The 'closed' status most likely stems from administrative or data-related changes. Plausible reasons include: 1) It was a private heliport whose registration lapsed or was never officially filed with the FAA under this name. 2) The identifier US-10207, which is not a standard FAA Location Identifier, was retired, superseded, or is an error in the third-party databases that track it.
The site is the St. Elizabeth Physicians Burlington medical center, located at 1500 St. Elizabeth Drive. A modern, fully marked helipad is physically present and clearly visible on the roof of the building. Satellite imagery and hospital information confirm this helipad is active and maintained for ongoing medical transport operations. Therefore, while the specific designation 'West Heliport (US-10207)' is considered closed or defunct in databases, the physical infrastructure it refers to remains in use by the hospital.
West Heliport was a private heliport located at the St. Elizabeth Physicians medical facility in Burlington, Kentucky. Its sole and critical function was to support Health Emergency Medical Services (HEMS), primarily for receiving patients via air ambulance (Medevac). It did not handle public, commercial, or general aviation traffic. Its significance was providing rapid medical transport access for the hospital, serving emergency cases in Boone County and the surrounding region.
There are no plans or prospects for 'reopening' the heliport under the 'West Heliport (US-10207)' designation, as this appears to be a defunct or erroneous identifier. The physical helipad at the location is currently operational for its intended medical purpose, making the concept of reopening inapplicable.
