Service
Non-emergency medical transport.
Planned trips for patients who need a bed and a crew who know the way: a hospital discharge, a move to rehab or a care home, or the trip home. 200 miles and up, any state in the lower 48.
What the service is.
Each trip is staffed by two professional drivers and a nurse or medic, who stays with the patient the whole way. The Sprinter is set up for the patient's medical condition, so the long hours are comfortable.
The crew offers company and emotional support as well as medical attention, so the patient is not alone on the road.
Who it is for.
Hospital discharge planners
A discharge that needs a bed on the road and a crew who talk to both facilities.

From people who used it.
The personnel who transported my mom from a hospital to a nursing home was excellent. They were gentle, kind, and very personable young men. You can tell they care about what they do. Thanks you
