Default How would this work?

While a noble thought, I am slightly confused how this would work. If there were a serious emergency today that required air transport to Concord, Manchester or Boston, the injured would be brought to the nearest shore and put on a med-flight helo which would land on the roof of the hospital. The seaplane med-flight would also have to have a nurse/EMT on board, but where would the plane land?

There is no body of water near Concord Hospital....Manchester has the Merrimack River and that large reservoir whose name I can't remember....Boston has the harbor.... But then, the injured would still need to be transported by ambulance from wherever the plane lands to the hospital.

I don't see this as a viable option to provide emergency transport for critically injured people.
