A surprising gift flew in for people living in Trenton, which could help save many lives.
Bob Wilson, President and CEO of AVC, Inc., has big plans for Trenton, starting with the Air Evac helipad, which was unveiled to a crowd of onlookers Thursday morning.
“We have the property zoned for not only a helipad, but a full heliport,” Wilson said. “Also there’s enough room on here for a freestanding emergency room.”
“Anything nowadays in the medical field that you can do to make it better for your citizens is great for this town,” said Trenton Mayor Ricky Jackson.
Wilson says these helipads are essential in rural communities without access to full hospitals.
But the ceremony unveiled one more gift: for the next year, all Trenton residents will have full access to the Air Evac Membership.
