Sentara Hampton General Hospital sits at 3120 Victoria Blvd in Hampton, Virginia, and you'll find it's a place with quite a lot going on-the hospital covers emergency care, family practice, radiology, inpatient and outpatient services, and you get memory care, skilled nursing, independent living, and assisted living all under one roof, and sometimes when folks need quick transfers or special help, their helipad comes into play, which is a private turf surface measuring 40 by 40 feet, always attended and with a control tower and proper lighting that the hospital attendants handle, and while you won't see published instrument procedures for the heliport itself, they've worked out air ambulance access through nearby airports like Langley Air Force Base, Newport News/Williamsburg International, and Norfolk Naval Station, with help from navigation aids at places like Norfolk, Cape Charles, and Harcum, and for those who keep track, the helipad answers to SENTARA HAMPTON GENERAL HOSPITAL (71VA), with Carl B. Tweedt managing the helicopter operations and emergency response.
