Already known? Fort Smith Has 3 Hospitals, Mercy, Sparks(recently bought out), and Crawford County Hospital. Mercy and Sparks have helipads. Sparks is closer to downtown, Mercy is more in the suburbs. Will it be HBS, or CBS? The equipment is an EC(Airbus) 135. There was a base at KFSM for HAA(HEMS) in a small hangar between the TacAir maintenance hangar and the bulk hangars. There has been a presence there in the past with a HAA base, and bases like Poteau who have subsequently shut down. Is there enough potential call volume to support a bases there? Thanks in advance.
