Medical Park Hospital Heliport

The 'closure' was not due to economic reasons, accidents, or military conversion, but was an administrative change. The facility, Medical Park Hospital, was acquired and renamed Wadley Regional Medical Center at Hope. Consequently, its associated heliport was officially registered with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the new name and a new official identifier, 15AR. The old identifier, US-10355, was likely an unofficial designator from a non-governmental database that is now obsolete.

The site is an active and fully operational heliport. It is now officially known as the **Wadley Regional Medical Center At Hope Heliport (FAA LID: 15AR)**. It continues to serve the exact same medical evacuation and patient transfer role for the hospital. Satellite imagery confirms a well-maintained helipad on the hospital grounds at the specified coordinates.

When it was known as Medical Park Hospital Heliport, its sole purpose was to support medical air transport operations. It served as a critical landing zone for medevac helicopters (such as those from LifeNet or Pafford Air One) to rapidly transport critically injured or ill patients to the hospital's emergency department or to transfer patients from this facility to larger, more specialized trauma centers in cities like Texarkana or Little Rock.

This is not applicable, as the heliport never physically closed. It has remained in continuous operation under its new official name and FAA identifier.
