Celebrate the Future of HCMC on Thursday, November 12

Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) invites you to join them in celebrating the opening of a new helistop for helicopter ambulance service, and groundbreaking for their new Ambulatory Outpatient Specialty Center (AOSC).  The event takes place November 12 - look for the big tent across the street from the 730 S. 8th Street entrance.

Activities start with a program at 1:00pm and continue with a reception and tours until 4:00pm The new helistop will make the region’s best trauma center even better by reducing transport time to HCMC for critically injured patients. The new clinic and surgery specialty center will make HCMC's primary and specialty care clinics and same day surgery center the most convenient and contemporary in the Twin Cities. 

According to Jane Lieberman, HCMC Community Events Manager, one of the special events (weather permitting) will be the inaugural landing on the new helistop. A LifeLinkIII helicopter is scheduled to arrive with this little patient: http://www.startribune.com/alexandria-girl-recovers-after-traumatic-facial-injury/322898741/.
