Danville Gets Its First Medical Helicopter | Roanoke News

After five years of delays, Danville is finally getting its own medical helicopter — a game-changer for emergency care in Southside Virginia. Air Care Eagle, a joint venture between Air Methods and HCA Virginia, will base operations at the Danville Regional Airport with a new modular facility and hangar set to open in spring 2027. The first helicopter arrives this fall, joining local EMS teams already in training for seamless coordination. This expansion means faster, better access to critical care for thousands across Danville, Pittsylvania County, and beyond — turning emergency response into life-saving efficiency.
