Lifestar is preparing to put a modular home just north of the hangar they lease from the City of Junction City at Freeman Field.

Cheryl Beatty, Junction City Finance Director, explained the current living space for not adequate. “And basically what it is going to do is give a good living quarters, because the people that run the Lifestar ambulance service are there 24/7.  And that will give them a good living space because the living space that they have is not adequate for their growing staff.”

Beatty added Lifestar is seeking a remodel of the hangar as well, so they can put their ground ambulance in the hangar, instead of housing it at another site as they are currently doing. The ground ambulance could then be maintained along with their helicopter service at that location.

Beatty said the ground ambulance would not be in competition with the City’s ambulance service. It would be used for another purpose.
