STAT is committed not only to providing the finest quality emergency services and training, but to employing persons who embody the foremost characteristics of a first response professional. We believe that in order to provide the best for our customers and students, an employee must be in a challenging work environment, and rewarded well for their toils. Our employees are the faces of our company -- providing not only physical and mental care -- but acting compassionate, empathetic and professional. In essence, the "service" in Emergency Medical Services is not really a ride to the hospital or the quick bandaging of an injury at the county fair, but the emotional and physical care given by an employee to someone who is sick or injured. In addition, STAT Response is locally owned.
