MedFlight establishes temp spot in MoCo, moving forward with Galion base

Med­Flight of Ohio is going for­ward with plans for its heli­copter base at the Galion Munic­i­pal Air­port. The com­pany has moved a Lodi-based heli­copter to the Mount Gilead EMS cen­ter to tem­porar­ily cover the area until con­struc­tion is com­pleted in Galion.

“As we work to com­plete the per­ma­nent heli­copter base of oper­a­tions at Galion Air­port, we are ‘day bas­ing’ our Lodi air­craft at Mor­row County EMS,” said Med­Flight pres­i­dent Rod Crane. That means a heli­copter and its asso­ci­ated staff will take off from Lodi each morn­ing for Mor­row County and return north each evening.

“Our tem­po­rary loca­tion into Mor­row County and even­tu­ally into Craw­ford County will enable the Med­Flight heli­copter to respond more quickly to the Mor­row, Craw­ford, Rich­land and Knox coun­ties more timely than we can from Lodi,” said Crane. The Lodi air­craft will be per­ma­nently moved to Galion once con­struc­tion is fin­ished in May.
