This is the helicopter landing pad at Putnam Community Medical Center. It takes seriously injured people to either Gainesville or Jacksonville, Florida. We have had one member of our family actually need to use this pad. Our daughter was life flighted to Shands in Gainesville after she flipped a four-wheeler on top of her in 2007. Luckily after surgery, she was okay, and is still doing fine today. We are just thankful it was here for her and the other people of Putnam County.
