STEUBENVILLE — STAT MedEvac’s new base at the Jefferson County Air Park operates with a three-person flight crew on 24-hour duty.
Jami Craig, a flight nurse with the air ambulance provider, told members of the Steubenville Kiwanis Club Tuesday afternoon a bit about the life of a crew with a STAT helicopter.
The crews are assigned to a base and work rotating 24-hour shifts. Each crew includes a pilot, a flight nurse and a paramedic, and each crew works two 24-hour shifts a week.

WINTERSVILLE — High winds and a few clouds didn’t stop STAT MedEvac from putting one of its helicopters into a base at the Jefferson County Air Park as planned Tuesday.
Airport officials and STAT signed a contract for the base on March 24. Effective Tuesday, STAT MedEvac began basing one of its $3.5 million Eurocopter 145 helicopter ambulances at Wintersville, while work progresses on converting the former terminal building into crew quarters and on construction of an adjacent helipad.
Tammy Weaver, coordinator for business relations and development, said the placement of the helicopter means STAT MedEvac will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week out of Wintersville, its 15th base in the region.
