 Clarion Hospital is proud to be a base site for STAT MedEvac, a helicopter medical transport service located in Pittsburgh. STAT MedEvac, a service of the Center for Emergency Medicine, has had a base site at Clarion Hospital since June 1995.
In addition to serving the patients of Clarion Hospital, the crews of STAT MedEvac respond to emergencies at other hospitals in Northwestern Pennsylvania, as well as doing transports directly from the scene of accidents.
 With STAT MedEvac on location at Clarion Hospital, it takes approximately 20 minutes for a patient to be transported to a trauma center in either Pittsburgh or Erie, as opposed to a two-hour drive. Staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, each STAT MedEvac helicopter crew consists of a nurse, paramedic and pilot.
