Medstar was formed as a not-for-profit community service in 1993 when two local hospitals realized that the cost and complexity of advanced life support care were greater than their local communities could support. In the 27 years since inception, Medstar has grown into the regional leader of 911 EMS delivery, as well as the leader in providing critical care and interfacility transports for healthcare systems and facilities.
Now serving patients and facilities throughout Bay, Ingram, Genesee, Lapeer, Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne counties, Medstar responds to over 180,000 requests for service annually. Medstar’s Board of Directors is comprised of emergency physicians, nurses, healthcare leaders, and elected and community leaders from throughout our service area. Our Board provides oversight to our leadership team, ensuring a focus on clinical quality, safety, and patient satisfaction.
Medstar is the region’s quality leader because of our unwavering dedication to our patients, our personnel, and the communities who place their trust in us.
