As a result, the facility was forced to evacuate and postpone appointments, and reroute medical helicopter flights to nearby hospitals. The impacted building houses St. Vincent’s rooftop helipad.
As of April 23, the building has resumed office visits and flights after first responders deemed it structurally sound, according to the report.
The driver was a St. Vincent valet, who was taken to the ER for treatment and is in stable condition.
