Transports
Intra-Facility Ambulance Transfers
Intra-facility transports are often required due to the patient’s current medical status and requested by a physician at our local hospitals. These transports are necessary when the patient requires further care or treatment not available at a local hospital. There are also circumstances when these transports are requested by either the patient themselves or the family due to either patient history with the receiving facility, such as patient’s insurance provider or family doctor location, or to move a patient closer to loved ones.
To Schedule a transport
Best way to contact us for transport requests is on our dedicated transport phone between the hours of 0700 and 0000. The fax is always available.
