(Allegheny County, PA) Allegheny Health Network is recently requesting finance of up to a total of $55 million for four LifeFlight helicopters to be leased and acquired by them. The authorization of revenue notes for health facilities for West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc, an Allegheny Health Network subsidiary, got a request for this to be done by the Allegheny County Hospital Development Authority. It was unclear from a recent item of agenda whether this $55 million would cover the whole cost of the four LifeFlight helicopters. Allegheny Health Network made a confirmation that this system is looking to get the four helicopters replaced.2007 is when most of these helicopters have been in use since.
