SERVICES
Ambulatory
Our Ambulatory services are designed to assist patients or clients who are able to walk independently or with minimal assistance but are unable to drive themselves to medical appointments. These services may also include limited assistance with mobility, entering and exiting the vehicle, and other basic daily activities related to transportation.
Professional Drivers
Wheelchair
Our professionally trained drivers provide safe, reliable, and comfortable wheelchair transportation for individuals who require mobility assistance. Services are available for medical appointments, therapy sessions, hospital discharges, dialysis treatments, and social outings.
Each transport is conducted using properly equipped wheelchair-accessible vehicles to ensure securement, safety, and comfort throughout the trip.
Long Distance Medical Transport
Stretcher Alternative
Our Stretcher-Alternative Services provide a safe, cost-effective transportation solution for medically stable, bed-bound clients who do not require ambulance-level stretcher transport.
We utilize the Traversa® Transport Wheelchair, a specialized transport system designed to allow patients to remain in a reclined, secure position while being safely transferred and transported. This system enhances safety, dignity, and comfort while reducing the need for traditional stretcher transport.
This service replaces many traditional stretcher requests by offering a secure, efficient option for patients traveling to medical appointments, dialysis treatments, hospital discharges, rehabilitation facilities, or other healthcare destinations.
Our trained staff ensure proper positioning, securement, and monitoring throughout transport to maintain safety and comfort at all times.
