Beginning to dig!  The Storm sewer connections are the first thing to begin.  I'm just glad we didn't have open holes when all that rain came!  By the end of this week, the demolition of the current helipad should begin.  As an alternative for emergency helicopter transport, the Lifelink helicopter service will be landing at the Cook Airport and the Cook Ambulance service will be transporting both the flight crews and patients as necessary between the hospital and the airport.

This process should be in place for about 1 1/2 months.  Then back to the Cook hospital.  We want to thank Representative Cravaack for his help in moving the process along to get FAA recommendations allowing us to start.
