This service provides a safe, comfortable, and dignified way to travel to appointments, facilities, residences, and other destinations.

Professional Attendant Support
Every stretcher trip includes a trained driver and a trained attendant to assist with the passenger throughout the transfer. Clients may also be accompanied by up to two additional attendants or nurse aides when required, subject to available space and trip arrangements.
Powered Stretcher & Loading Equipment
For added safety and comfort, we use powered stretchers on all stretcher transports—no manual lifting stretchers. Our powered equipment helps our team load and unload passengers safely and smoothly, with stretchers designed to accommodate passengers weighing up to 1,000 lbs.
What to Have Ready When Booking
To help us plan a safe and seamless transfer, please have the pickup address, destination, appointment time, and passenger's mobility requirements ready. Let us know about stairs, elevators, access challenges, weight or equipment considerations, and whether someone will be accompanying the passenger.
