In the 40 years since its first mission, STAT MedEvac has become one of America's most prominent air-medical organizations, distinguished by its cutting-edge emergency care and clinical leadership.

That academic orientation is a function of the CEM itself, which is directed by a consortium of five University of Pittsburgh Medical Center hospitals.
