| | Helipad Donated to Waverly Health Center |
| |  Philanthropist David F. Bolger, President of The Bolger Foundation in Ridgewood, NJ and Chairman of Bolger & Co., Inc. also of Ridgewood has donated $600,000 with an additional pledge of $100,000 if needed to cover 100 percent of the cost to build a helicopter landing area on top of Waverly Health Center’s Centennial Pavilion. The new “Lois Coonradt/Bolger Helipad” will be located on the north half of the hospital’s roof.
“Because one of my sons is a flight paramedic, I understand the value of a new helipad for the community,” stated Mr. Bolger. This new project will enhance the safety of the pilots, health care team and community members who need emergency transportation.
During 2009, 90 helicopters landed at Waverly Health Center to transport patients to Iowa City, Des Moines, Mason City and Rochester, MN.
“We are extremely appreciative of The Bolger Foundation’s gift to the hospital,” stated Mike Trachta, WHC chief executive officer. “Over the years, pilots have expressed concern with the obstacles around our current helipad. The new, state-of-the-art helipad we are now able to build will provide many benefits for our patients.”
