Greece Rotary gift funds helipad
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle - Rochester, N.Y.
GREECE -- Hundreds of plates of ziti and dozens of rounds of golf will help to ensure critical care patients in western Monroe County get quick emergency health care. To celebrate its 50th anniversary, the Greece Rotary Club has pledged $50,000 to help construct a helipad at the Unity Park Ridge Campus on Long Pond Road. The donation will pay for half the cost of the pad, which will be used by Mercy Flight Central to bring patients suffering ailments such as stroke or heart attacks to the hospital. "When you tell Rotarians -- especially Greece Rotarians -- to do something, it happens," said Mike Taylor, Rotary Club president. The group wanted to mark its 50th anniversary by making a long-term commitment to the community that has supported Greece Rotary's endeavors since it was founded in 1959, he said. Taylor said money from the group's annual Italian Festa pasta dinner, golf tournament and other fundraisers was pooled for the $50,000 donation. "This project will have an impact on the current and future generations of this area," said Larry Wills, past president of Greece Rotary. During a groundbreaking ceremony for the project on Monday, Dr. James Haley said having a helipad at the hospital will help ensure patients suffering acute strokes can be treated quickly. Unity Hospital is a state Department of Health Designated Stroke Center. The faster medical treatment can be provided for stroke victims, the greater the chance of staving off irreparable brain damage, said Haley, Unity vice president and chair of the Department of Medicine. "This service may indeed mean the difference between permanent disability or not," he said. Unity is not a trauma center and the helicopter service will allow Mercy Flight to bring patients from outlying hospitals directly to the Long Pond Road campus without having to stop at the Greater Rochester International Airport and load the patient into an ambulance. The helipad will be built as part of the ongoing $158 million expansion and renovation project at the hospital. That project will add a fourth floor and improve facilities throughout the hospital. Construction on the overall project is expected to be done in 2014. Warren Hern, chief executive officer of Unity Health System, said the helipad is an "important addition to the Unity Park Ridge Campus" that will "have a lasting impact on the health of the region." The hospital expects the helipad to be used one or two times a month once it opens in 2012.
