Exciting Day in Margaretville & Community for Helipad Unveiling

MARGARETVILLE — On October 14, with fall colors forming the backdrop, the sound of a helicopter signaled the arrival of the official landing on the new helipad and ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new helipad next to the Margaretville Hospital. Located steps from the front door of the hospital, it strengthens emergency transport capabilities and access to life-saving care at the hospital. Community members, hospital staff and the boards of the Margaretville Health Foundation and Margaretville Hospital, as well as many from Westchester Medical Center (WMC) and Health Alliance gathered to witness a long-awaited and anticipated addition to the critical care services of the hospital.
