Genesee County's most efficient and cost conscious service available.
From a 9-1-1 call for a single person’s cardiac
crisis, to ambulance requests for multiple gunshot wounds, STAT
EMS’s systems are ready to respond to all varieties of emergency
requests. STAT EMS ambulances and Specialty TRANS services serve
a key role in Genesee County and the Flint Community.
STAT Emergency Medical Services, Inc. was founded in 2000 in response to the
concern that ambulance service in Genesee County was inadequate to meet the emergency
and inter-facility needs of the community.
A short time after STAT EMS began providing services
within Genesee County, the City of Flint Fire Department discontinued
its EMS transport program. STAT EMS responded by dedicating resources
to insure that EMS calls in Flint would be answered within appropriate
response times. STAT was able to quickly open stations staffed
with laid-off Flint City paramedics in and around the city in order
to provide balanced coverage.
In 2002, STAT EMS continued to grow,
demonstrating that STAT EMS could not only handle high-volume urban
areas reliably, but could also provide alternative EMS solutions
to rural areas where volume alone did not support reliable EMS
service.
STAT EMS continued to grow its partnerships with private, Governmental
and public organizations, including other ambulance companies,
hospitals, fire departments and skilled nursing and rehab facilities. Such partnerships
are a key ingredient towards providing both public safety and quality
patient care to those in need.
In June 2009, STAT EMS became Nationally Accredited through the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Service or CAAS. Accreditation signifies that STAT EMS has met the "gold standard" determined by the ambulance industry to be essential in a modern emergency medical services provider. These standards often exceed those established by state or local regulation. The process included a comprehensive self-assessment and an independent outside review of the EMS organization. This independent process provides verification to your Board of Directors, city council, medical community and others that quality care is provided to the community.
In January 2010, STAT EMS was awarded a three year 911 contract to provide EMS services to the cities of Linden and Fenton. STAT deploys two 24 hour ALS ambulances to the communities and is the only EMS service to coordinate their responses with AVL and 800 MHz with Fenton 911 to ensure accurate response times are met for those in need.
STAT EMS expects to respond to more than 40,000 requests in 2010.
With more than 130 ambulance personnel, support staff and 30 vehicles, STAT EMS is large enough
to have extensive reach, yet small enough to still offer personal and customized
medical care and services.
Our commitment is to provide our personnel with the most advanced equipment and
supplies, as well as ongoing continued and specialty education. Our management
prides itself on reliability and continues to spend countless hours creating an internal
continuous quality improvement (CQI) program which provides for prospective and
retrospective review of patient care practices. As a result, our organization
is continuously monitoring clinical advancements in pre-hospital care and patient
transportation, pursuing the latest equipment, technology, and operating practices
that improve our ability to deliver the most efficient and cost conscious service
available.
