Frequently asked questions

What is stretcher (gurney) transportation?
Stretcher transport moves a patient who must stay lying down but does not need emergency ambulance care. Our crew handles bed-to-gurney transfers, secures the patient, and delivers them bed-to-bed at the destination.
How is it different from an ambulance?
An ambulance is for emergencies and carries paramedics and medical equipment. Gurney NEMT is scheduled, non-emergency transport for stable patients — which usually costs far less than an ambulance trip.
Do you provide two attendants?
Yes. Every stretcher trip is staffed with a trained two-person crew for safe lifting, stair chairs when needed, and secure loading.
How much notice do you need for a stretcher ride?
We recommend 24-48 hours notice for stretcher trips so we can schedule the right vehicle and crew, though we accommodate same-day discharges whenever a unit is available.
