Information indicating this heliport is closed is incorrect. The heliport at these coordinates, officially the Mat-Su Regional Medical Center Heliport (FAA: 2AK3), is operational. The identifier US-10963 appears to be a non-standard code from a database with an erroneous 'closed' status.
Not applicable, as the heliport is not closed. It remains an active and essential facility for medical transport in the region.
The site is an active, private-use heliport located on the grounds of the Mat-Su Regional Medical Center in Palmer, Alaska (very close to Wasilla). It is used exclusively by helicopter air ambulance services to transport critically ill or injured patients to and from the hospital's emergency department.
The heliport was constructed concurrently with the Mat-Su Regional Medical Center, which opened its doors in early 2006. From its inception, the heliport's sole purpose has been to support medical evacuation (medevac) and inter-facility patient transport. It serves as a critical hub for air ambulance operators like LifeMed Alaska and Guardian Flight, providing life-saving access for the rapidly growing Matanuska-Susitna Borough. The name 'Medivac - Wasilla Heliport' is a descriptive, albeit unofficial, name for its function.
Not applicable, as the heliport was never closed and remains fully operational.
