Maui Memorial Medical Center’s (MMMC) new helipad became operational on Wednesday, Sept. 28, and by Thursday, Sept. 29, three cases had already been flown in. The helipad is an important milestone and signifies the culmination of many years of planning for the new cardiology service line, which was recently rolled out. MMMC is now the only Neighbor Island hospital treating emergency heart attacks, and the new helipad means that an important window of 15 to 20 minutes can now be saved to treat those heart and other critically-ill patients.
