This page is provided as a courtesy of St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center to our neighbors in order to address concerns regarding helicopter noise and flight pattern issues.
St. Joseph’s flight pattern is to approach and depart the hospital in an East to East direction. This flight pattern is the preferred path that provides the least amount of disruption to our neighbors to the North, South and West. We have communicated this preferred pattern to air ambulance companies that are registered by the Arizona Department of Health Services.
If you have a complaint regarding air ambulances, you may register your concern regarding ONLY helicopter noise or flight pattern issues. This website is not a general community forum for other issues.
