HTN: Helipad Denied to Emergency Service

Women's and Children's Hospital will not allow the Starflight helicopter to land on its helipad. The hospital says that Starflight never sought clearance to land there. Since Starlight doesn't have authorization, critically injured children must be flown to the parking lot of the Erie County Medical Center, and then taken by ambulance, a 12-minute ride to Women and Children's.
