[edit] Life Flight
The Stanford Life Flight program began May 1, 1984. Stanford Life Flight flies in an EC 145 helicopter that can fly under both visual and instrument flight rules, allowing for response to calls in nearly any weather. The aircraft will accommodate two patients with two Flight Nurses, or one patient with up to four caregivers, plus the Pilot. [6] During the non-flight time, the flight nurses are available to support the Emergency Department and the ICU's.[7]

[edit] Data Breach
After a vendor’s electronic file that included certain Stanford Hospital & Clinics patient information was discovered on a web site on August 22, 2011, it was removed the next day and SHC began an aggressive investigation.[9]
A $20 million dollar lawsuit was filed against Stanford Hospital & Clinics and Multi-Specialty Collection Services LLC, for the data breach that had the medical records of 20,000 patients on commercial website for a year. Stanford Hospitals & Clinics has severed all connections with this contractor and will "vigorously defend" itself.[10]
