When Bad Weather Shut Down Helicopter Flights, A Way Was Still Found To Get A Life-Saving Heart From Erlanger To Vanderbilt Wednesday, February 24, 2021
The Hamilton County emergency team on Feb. 15 arranged a unique transport of a heart from Erlanger Hospital to Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville to a waiting heart transplant recipient.
The weather at the time was too bad for a helicopter flight so local telecommunicators set up a plan for a police escort on the roads and interstate from one hospital to the other.
It worked and the heart recipient was overwhelmed with emotion when she learned of the extraordinary steps that were taken to provide her with the life-saving heart.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ When temperatures drop, many regular activities come to a halt, but the American Red Cross needs your help to stop winter weather from giving hospital patients the cold shoulder. Those who are eligible to donate are urged to cozy up to giving blood, platelets or plasma to help hospital patients this February and throughout the pandemic.
As the Red Cross works to provide lifesaving blood products to hospitals for patients every day of the year, weather adds additional complications during this ongoing pandemic. Over the past seven days, blood drives from coast-to-coast have been canceled due to severe winter weather, especially in the Northeast impacting at least 4,600 donations that patients need to help them combat injury and illness, including COVID-19.
City Master Plan names top priorities for Portsmouth
Staff report
Market Square is the highest prioritized and most supported of all Elevate Portsmouth concepts, according to the Master Plan.
SCIOTO Implementation of Portsmouth’s new Master Plan – Elevate Portsmouth, introduced in early January, will focus on three areas designated as priorities by the City of Portsmouth and others involved in creating the plan.
Riverfront development is a major part of the short and long-term aspects of the Master Plan. The topic originated with Portsmouth’s grant entry in the 2015 America’s Best Communities Competition as part of the Community Revitalization Plan. A primary goal in future planning is to improve commercial and community access to the Portsmouth riverfront with the objective to facilitate outdoor entertainment, recreation and commercial opportunities along the riverfront and its surrounding downtown area.
