Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 27, 2025
Closure Date

This heliport is not closed. Official records from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) indicate it is currently operational. The identifier 'US-11254' is a non-standard code, likely from a third-party database that may contain outdated or incorrect information. The official and active FAA Location Identifier for this heliport is FA39.

Reason for Closure

Not applicable, as the heliport remains operational for medical use.

Current Status

The heliport is active and designated for private use for medical emergencies only. It is located on the grounds of Doctors' Memorial Hospital at 333 N Byron Butler Pkwy, Perry, Florida. The facility consists of a 40x40 foot concrete helipad. According to FAA records, it is owned by the Taylor County Board of County Commissioners and managed by the hospital. It continues to be used by helicopter air ambulance services serving the North Florida region.

Historical Significance

Activated in April 1983, the Doctors' Memorial Hospital Heliport (FA39) has served as a critical piece of emergency medical infrastructure for Perry and the surrounding rural Taylor County for over four decades. Its sole function is to support medical evacuation (medevac) and air ambulance operations. It facilitates the rapid transport of critically ill or injured patients from the scene of an emergency or from the hospital to larger, more specialized trauma centers, such as those in Tallahassee or Gainesville. Its existence has been vital for improving patient outcomes in a region where distances between advanced medical facilities are significant.

Reopening Prospects

Not applicable, as the heliport was never closed and remains fully operational.
