Clay County Hospital has been recognized as the Illinois Department of Transportation’s Heliport of the Year.
The awardee is chosen by IDOT’s Division of Aeronautics, who decide on a winner annually based on certain criteria. The facility’s safety record and service provided to the community play key roles in the decision, along the ability to cooperate and coordinate with the Division of Aeronautics.
Clay County Hospital will be presented with the honor during a ceremony held at the Illinois Aviation Conference at the SIU Transportation Education Center in Murphysboro, IL on May 5th.
