Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center Heliport serves Waco, US.
The Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center Heliport (US-12209), also known by its local code TA72, was located near Waco, Texas. The heliport was closed due to the relocation of the original Hillcrest Hospital campus. The original hospital, which operated from 1920 until 2009, was closed to cut costs, with patients transferred to a newer facility near I-35. The heliport's FAA deletion occurred on August 17, 2017.
After the hospital's demolition approximately five years ago, the 14-acre site on Herring Avenue has remained vacant. Local neighborhood associations have advocated for the site to become a city park or green space, and the city of Waco has expressed interest in purchasing the land from Baylor Scott & White Health, the current owner, pending resolution of environmental issues.
