Jim Piovarchy
Base Site Coordinator, STAT MedEvac 5

Jim began his nursing career with a long-term goal of becoming a flight nurse. After graduating from Shadyside School of Nursing, he started working for Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh in their ICU department and for Uniontown Ambulance Service. When he had gained enough experience he moved on to STAT MedEvac and became a flight nurse.

In addition to his flight nurse duties of caring for critically ill and/or injured patients, Jim is responsible for the day-to-day activities at MedEvac 5, which includes creating the flight crew’s schedules and handling any issues that may arise at the base site. Jim enjoys working for STAT MedEvac because of their reputation in the air medical industry, the state-of-the-art aircraft, and STAT’s progressive and aggressive care for their patients.

Outside of work, Jim enjoys hunting, fishing, and shooting sports. He is also a member of Ducks Unlimited, which is an organization that “conserves, restores, and manages wetlands and associated habitats for North America’s waterfowl.”
