TriStar Centennial Medical Center President & CEO Scott Cihak (center) is joined by HCA Healthcare executives, physicians, elected officials and first responders to cut the ribbon on the new helipad.

Last month, TriStar Centennial Medical Center celebrated the ribbon-cutting on the hospital's new helipad and celebrated first responders during National EMS Week. The 45 x 45-foot helipad sits atop the 12th floor of the hospital's recently expanded patient tower. Unique features include a heating system to keep ice and snow from accumulating during cold weather, a built-in fire suppression system utilizing foam instead of water on the landing pad, and a new pilot's lounge that includes real-time weather analysis capabilities to help flight crews assess conditions prior to take-off.
