Service
Commercial medical escort.
A nurse or medic flies with the patient on an ordinary airline flight: through the airport, on board and on to the door. For patients who can sit up for the trip.
What an escort does.
When a patient is medically stable and can sit up for extended periods, flying with an escort can be the right way to travel. Our staff talk with the patient's doctors first, to collect the discharge and receiving information and confirm that flying suits the patient's condition.
On the day, the escort handles travel and boarding, transfers to and from the airports, security, and the discharge papers, and gives medical help when it is needed.
Who it is for.
People in a hospital
Going home or to another facility, and steady enough to sit up for the flight.

Tyler Spears Great organization! Booked a medical transport for a family member last year from FL to NY. Transport was on time and staff was very professional. Would recommend for future service.

Does the escort stay the whole trip?
Yes. A nurse or medic travels with the patient through the airport, on board and on to the door.
What if the patient needs to lie down?
Then a seat on a flight is not the right way to travel. Ask us about our Sprinter trips.
