SUMMARY: Air ambulances save lives, with over 550,000 patients using them annually. Starkville Mayor Lynn Spruill is working to make the city a base for a medical helicopter. Collaborating with Mississippi State University, they seek grants from the Appalachian Regional Commission and the Mississippi Department of Transportation to build a hangar at George Bryan Airport.
