Earliest dated reference to a heliport in this location is a 1973 directory, while the earliest visual confirmation is a 1979 ODOT aerial photo. The FAA data for this location gives an activation date of February 1987, however. Contrary to the FAA data, there was no lighted wind indicator I could see, and all the ground-level lighting was missing any kind of bulbs. I'm also not sure that the associated facility is actually a functioning hospital any longer. I would therefore advise against trying to land here.
