Starlite Medical Staff was thought up in 1997 by two NYC/EMS paramedics who were working for NY Hospital on a (part-time) perdium basis. After putting in MANY overtime shifts doing 'movie standby's' and seeing the prices range from 225.00 an hour to 400.00 an hour they decided to start their own company charging LESS THEN HALF what the other big time private hospitals charge.'Starlite Medical Staff' always has an ambulance waiting on a stand-by basis which is much cost efficient to the clients,instead of spending 150-200 dollars an hour we work with the client and try to decide wether a ambulance is needed {We like to make it a rule, 'due to past experiences' when there are more than 500 people attending an event AND ALCOHOL is being served we like to have a 'Ambulance' standing by}

After a while the 'medics' became good friends with other people in the movie industry and things took off. To this date we keep our clientele small working 30-40 dates per year, we specialize in 'Set Medics' for MTV/ABC/NBC/CBS/ MTV/VH1/Nick at Night/Nickelodeon/Bravo/FOOD NETWORK and a host of other small cable channels, we also work for major & independent movie studios as well as public relation events, charity events, corporate parties, construction sites & commercials.
