Life Flight to close Mountain Home base

After five years of service in Mountain Home, the Life Flight Network will close its air ambulance base at the city airport on Thursday.

"Our program was proud to continue this uniquely high level of coverage for Mountain Home area members and residents first established by Saint Alphonsus Life Flight in 2007," said Life Flight's chief executive officer, Michael Griffiths. "However, flight activity was never sufficient during those years to financially justify a local base of operations."
