Medical Center South Heliport

The closure was likely for operational and economic reasons. As part of a larger hospital network, air ambulance services were consolidated at major, specialized trauma centers in nearby Cleveland. The operational need for a dedicated heliport at a suburban outpatient and emergency facility diminished, making it economically unviable to maintain, staff, and certify according to FAA standards. The closure was a result of strategic consolidation, not a specific accident or military conversion.

The site is the location of the University Hospitals Broadview Heights Health Center. The physical helipad, marked with a faded 'H' inside a circle, still exists on the asphalt surface of the facility's parking lot. However, the heliport is officially and permanently closed and is not listed in any current FAA publications. The area now functions simply as part of the medical center's parking and grounds.

This was a private-use heliport serving the on-site medical center, which has been operated by Southwest General and, more recently, University Hospitals. Its sole purpose was to support medical evacuation (medevac) operations, allowing air ambulances to transport critically ill or injured patients to and from the facility's emergency department. It functioned as a local access point to the regional emergency medical services (EMS) network for Broadview Heights and surrounding communities. The identifier 'US-10499' is a non-standard code used by third-party aviation data aggregators and is not an official ICAO airport code.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the heliport. Given the current healthcare trend of consolidating specialized services at major medical campuses and the proximity of several Level I trauma centers in the Cleveland area with robust heliport facilities, it is highly unlikely that this heliport will be reactivated.
