The Hastings-on-Hudson Volunteer Fire Department is inviting residents to attend a training demonstration with the STAT Flight Team from the Westchester County Medical Center scheduled (weather permitting) for Tuesday July 31, 2007 at 7:00 pm at Uniontown Park on Rose Street in Hastings-on-Hudson. 

STAT, short for stabilization, treatment and transport, provides specialized airborne critical medical care and inter-hospital patient transport throughout the Hudson Valley. 

According to Chief of Department Jeff Bannon, STAT Flight's service is an important resource for those who are severely injured or ill.  "When we need to provide immediate patient transport and severe trauma care from an accident scene to the Westchester County Medical Center, we request STAT Flight to respond" states Chief Bannon.

 

The training will include the establishment of a landing zone for the helicopter as well as an information session by the flight crew after the helicopter has landed.  Chief Bannon indicates that "There are many facets of our emergency response capabilities.  We train for every situation and event that could occur and this drill with STAT Flight is an invaluable opportunity for our members to add to their skills as well as for residents to see this emergency equipment up-close."
