Air Evac Lifeteam has broken ground in a partnership with Paris Regional Medical Center to open and operate a 24/7 Air Evac Base, including a helipad and hanger for the aircraft to be housed. Additionally there will be quarters and office space which will allow 24/7 staffing of the aircraft with a pilot and medical crew. Air Evac hopes to have the facility open, employees on the base and be fully equipped to fly in mid December.
