New STATCARE base aids Oldham

A new STATCARE helicopter based in Trimble County is good news for Oldham County residents who need emergency care.
"This gives us faster, better coverage in the case of a traumatic event" like a bad wreck, said Lance Vincent, director of Oldham County Emergency Medical Service and a flight paramedic.
The new helicopter service is in addition to one out of Louisville, which has been serving Oldham County since the 1980s.
"We've always been protected by STATCARE out of Louisville, but the good thing about the Trimble County base is we now have one on the opposite end of the county -- we now have 24/7 coverage with two aircraft instead of one," Vincent said.
Based next to the Milton Fire & Rescue Station on U.S. 421 between Bedford and Milton, the new hub began operating last month and has been averaging two to three calls a day to Northern Kentucky and Southern Indiana, said Allison Simpson, outreach coordinator for STATCARE.
"It has decreased the response time tremendously," Simpson said.
An open house for the new helicopter base is set for Saturday. Visitors can see the $4.3 million chopper and learn about the services it helps provide. There will be free food, and staff members will answer questions.
Each of the helicopters can carry two patients, plus a crew of three. They can cruise at about 160 mph.
Bobby Thacker, who is a STATCARE flight paramedic and a city commissioner in Goshen, said he is happy about the expanded coverage in part because the north end of Oldham County does not have an advanced life-support paramedic stationed there.
The Milton-based helicopter is closer to many areas in Oldham County, Thacker said, and it is a backup in case the other helicopter is out on a call.
The STATCARE service was started by downtown Louisville hospitals in 1982; its main base is at Bowman Field. A second hub was added near Interstate 65 in Glasgow in 1999.

Stat Care & PHI
I know that Stat Care is running off 155.400 but dont know the PL tone for it. I know I herd alot of traffic from when they were in Seymour but havent heard anything lately except for when they do a pick up or something. Also PHI in North Vernon is active but I dont know what frequency they are using. I will get the freqencies and post them soon as I get them. I also know that Bartholomew County has LifeLine at Columbus Regional Hopistal now since PHI left and went to North Vernon. Also PHI changed there name to Dove Flight so that might be why the frequency has changed. I normally just these frequencies porgramed in my scanner and not my two way radio.
Thanks
