A New Helipad has been opened at Crittenden Regional Hospital to meet the needs of our patients during life-threatening emergencies. The Arkansas Department of Aeronautics funded a grant to build the new facility which serves communities in Northeast Arkansas. The 50' x 50' square helipad is surrounded by safety fencing and is built with six inch concrete. It's capable of sustaining an 11-ton helicopter with a 44 foot diameter rotor.
