Since 2003, Statpacks has been manufacturing medical supply bags and backpacks for first responders, police, fire and medical personnel.
Our commitment to innovation shows in our continuous product upgrades.
But ultimately, our commitment to innovation is about saving lives. This is why we are also committed to giving back to the communities and emergency medical responders we serve.
In December of 2022, we donated $25,000 worth of medical supply bags to every school in Washington County, Utah—63 total.
The medical supply bags are used by school resource officers, medical staff and athletic trainers for student safety in emergencies.
Principal of Crimson Cliffs High School Rusty Taylor said this is the second donation of medical supply bags from the company.
“The organization aspect of these medical supply bags is huge,” Taylor said. “Our athletic trainer can set up one for the cross county team, one for the football team and so on because each bag can be drastically different in terms of what is needed for each sport, and there are so many teams.”
Ashley Wollam, an athletic trainer at Crimson Cliffs High, said she was impressed with the first Statpacks medical supply bag they received.
“These bags are waterproof and weather resistant, and they are compartmentalized to make whatever we are carrying really easy to find,” she said. “So when the opportunity came up and I was asked if we could use more, I was all in.”
Statpacks was founded by Las Vegas paramedic Scott Nelson in the 1990s. While hauling medical supply bags to various sites, he wished they were more comfortable to carry like his backpacking equipment. This led to the idea for StatPacks, a company that produces medical supply carrying kits and backpacks for first responders, police, fire and medical personnel.
“Basically it is taking a fusion of all the technology that we have learned about the outdoor industry and trying to incorporate it into the medical industry,” he said.
StatPacks company has now donated at least one bag to every school within the Washington County School District.
Statpacks public relations manager Charli Nelson said, “This holiday season we wanted to give back to the community…Our mission is helping those that are helping others.”
