STARS air ambulances have been picking up patients in Swift Current from the airport since October last fall, but work is now being done to set up a new heliport by the Cypress Regional Hospital.

Saskatchewan Health Authority has completed the design process for the new landing spot and they say it would be located adjacent to the hospital.

Next they are making arrangements for the construction process.

The SHA says they'll be working closely with their stakeholders throughout the process, icnluding STARS, Transport Canada, and the Ministry of Health.

There's no word yet from the SHA on the estimate cost, timeline, or exact location of the project.
