Does NYC have any HEMS operators flying out of the city? Are primary scenes worked inside the city? What are the helipads like at the city's hospitals? Any hospital based HEMS in the city? Thanks |

Based in the city? No. For aircraft in the area you have NYPD which has an Air/Sea rescue 412 out of Floyd Bennett Field that can drop divers and does hoist operations. Then Medtrans has Skyhealth based out of KISP which is 99.99% interfacility transfers. They do occasionally take someone in or out of Lenox Hill or other Manhatten based hospitals. For those you just land at one of the three city heliports, JRA, JRB or 6N5 and take an ambulance the rest of the way. There are no rooftop pads in NYC anymore and the hospitals never had ones to begin with. No scene work done in NYC due to many reasons, mainly too many hospitals in close range and the lack of available landing areas. Just not practical. Around the NYC area the only hospital with a pad is Jacobi Medical center in the bronx but it is at the outskirts and most people only think of Manhatten when they say NYC. Then I guess you have Staten Island Hospital with a pad but no one thinks of Staten Island as NYC even though it technically is. Other operators are on the the side of the Hudson, Hackensack is Air Methods and then the Lifenet ships further north which will come down for drops/pickups at the city heliports but rare. |

Any inter-facilties done go to either the west 30th, east 34th or wall street helipad Since they are in a city, there is no need for helicopter for EMS (unless they are medevacing someone out of the city for an interfacility) NYPD handles all rescue On Long island, some police units do medevac In New Jersey, Hacknsack in in the north, Atlantic Air 3 at Mountain Creek/Vernon, Atlantic Air 1 in Netcong New Jersey. They will sometimes do interfacilities to the west 30th heliport for specialized procedures, mostly heart. They will also go to Jacobi (i think on the Bronx) for the hyperbaric chamber. On rare occasion, they can setup an LZ in central park, but it's mostly just as easy to use one of the helipads. Hope this helps and feel free to write if you have any other questions

No need for scene ship when everything can go by ground. I have flown into the city many times to pick up kids going to Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia. Most often land at Jacobi or one of the helipads, but have landed at a couple of inner city parks to include a basketball court too. |
