JeffSTAT is the region’s most comprehensive provider of medical transportation – supplying everything from basic life support,
advanced life support and critical care ambulance services to air medical transport via a helicopter.
JeffSTAT transports patients to any receiving hospital in southeastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey or Delaware. We have been
operating for nearly two decades and transport more than 15,000 patients a year. JeffSTAT has dedicated critical-care transport
nurses, paramedics and emergency medical technicians on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We operate a fleet of 20 vehicles,
including helicopters, ambulances, and paratransit vans (Aviation services provided by Air Methods).
Licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services, JeffSTAT personnel
provide care in accordance with evidence-based treatment protocols developed with Jefferson neurologists, neurosurgeons, cardiologists,
trauma surgeons and other physician specialists. We receive medical direction from the attending physicians in Jefferson Hospital’s
Department of Emergency Medicine.
JeffSTAT is the only air and ground transport program in the Philadelphia region that is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation
of Medical Transport Systems (CAMTS)— an organization that assesses quality and safety in the medical transportation industry.
In fact, JeffSTAT is the only medical transportation service in the region equipped with a fiber-optic balloon pump for cardiac
patients. We are the only service in the region to carry fetal monitors on the ambulances and helicopters. We also have an
isolette configured for nitric oxide delivery during transport. Other state-of-the-art equipment includes ventilators, cardiac
monitors and invasive monitoring technology so the team can monitor arterial lines, pulmonary artery catheters and intracranial
pressures during transport.
