The addition of a MedFlight base in Eaton provides patients at Fort Hamilton Hospital and Preble County Medical Center faster emergency transport.

When every minute counts, Hamilton residents and patients of Fort Hamilton Hospital now have fast access to critical emergency care, thanks to a new MedFlight medical helicopter and base at Preble County Medical Center in Eaton.

“As part of our ongoing assessment of patient transportation solutions, we recognized the need to expand our partnership with MedFlight, to provide an aircraft in Preble County and better serve the people in our southwest Ohio region,” said Bill Mangas, director of prehospital care for Kettering Health Network.
