Eaton Rapids Medical Center Heliport

Not applicable, as the heliport was never permanently closed. It is an active facility.

The site is an active, private-use heliport located on the southern grounds of the Eaton Rapids Medical Center. Satellite imagery confirms a clearly marked, paved helipad used for receiving and dispatching medical helicopters. It is designated by the FAA as 'Eaton Rapids Community Hospital Heliport' (FAA LID: 2MI4) and is available for use by air ambulance services.

The heliport's primary and ongoing function is to support life-saving medical operations for the Eaton Rapids Medical Center. It serves as a critical link for medical evacuation (medevac) and inter-hospital patient transfers. When active, and to this day, it handles helicopter air ambulance flights operated by services such as Sparrow's service (part of University of Michigan Health) and others in the region. Its purpose is to enable the rapid transport of critically ill or injured patients to and from larger, more specialized facilities, such as the Level I trauma centers in Lansing or Ann Arbor.

Not applicable, as the heliport is currently open and operational.
