San Bernardino County Medical Center Heliport

Not applicable, as the heliport is fully operational. The heliport at the *previous* hospital site was decommissioned circa 1999 due to the relocation of the entire medical center to a new, modern facility at the coordinates provided.

The site is an active, fully operational rooftop heliport with the official FAA identifier 1CA4. It is located atop the Arrowhead Regional Medical Center and is used daily for the transport of critically ill and injured patients. It is a private facility, and permission is required prior to landing.

The heliport at this location (400 N Pepper Ave, Colton, CA) is a critical piece of infrastructure for the Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC). Since the hospital's opening in 1999, the heliport has been essential for its role as a university-affiliated Level I Adult and Pediatric Trauma Center and Burn Center. It handles a high volume of Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) flights, receiving critically injured patients via air ambulance from across San Bernardino, Riverside, Inyo, and Mono counties—one of the largest geographic regions served by a single trauma center in the US. It is a primary destination for air ambulances from providers like Mercy Air, REACH, and local law enforcement aviation units.

Not applicable, as the heliport was never closed and remains in continuous, vital operation.
