The identifier US-10239 is obsolete and no longer in use. However, the heliport facility itself never closed and remains fully operational. The exact date the US-10239 identifier was deprecated is not publicly documented.
The heliport was not physically closed for reasons like military conversion or economic issues. The 'closure' refers to the decommissioning or obsolescence of the non-official identifier 'US-10239'. This is a common occurrence in aviation databases as they are updated and standardized. The facility's operations were never interrupted and continue under its official FAA designation.
The site is an active and fully operational private heliport, officially designated as Peace Harbor Hospital Heliport (FAA LID: 5OR2). It is located on the grounds of the PeaceHealth Peace Harbor Medical Center at the specified coordinates and is used exclusively for medical air transport (Medevac) operations.
The heliport has served as a critical asset for the PeaceHealth Peace Harbor Medical Center since its establishment. Its sole purpose has been to support Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS). It facilitates the life-saving transport of patients requiring urgent, specialized care to and from this rural coastal hospital, connecting it with larger medical facilities and trauma centers in Oregon.
Not applicable, as the heliport never closed. It is currently active and there are no indications that its vital medical services will cease.
