When sitting up isn't an option.
For post-surgical recovery, advanced illness, hospice transitions, and patients who simply can't tolerate an upright position — our stretcher service is a fully horizontal transfer with two trained attendants on every trip. Not an ambulance. Not a wheelchair van. A purpose-built non-emergency stretcher transport, done right.
The full stretcher trip.
From the bed to the vehicle to the destination bed — handled by trained attendants from start to finish.
Roll-in stretcher with side rails
DOT-compliant primary stretcher with 5-point securement, locking wheels, and side rails. No transfer to a separate gurney mid-trip.
Two trained attendants
Driver plus a dedicated patient-care tech. Both trained in patient transfer, vital sign awareness, and CPR. Two-person handling on every transfer.
Bed-to-bed handling
We transfer you from your bed to the stretcher, from the stretcher to the vehicle, and into the receiving bed at the destination. You don't have to move yourself once.
Oxygen delivery setup
We accommodate your existing tanks or concentrator — and can provide O2 if you don't have your own ($25 setup). Vehicle has built-in O2 mounting.
Hospital-grade linens
Fresh, laundered linens for every trip. Sanitized stretcher rails, securement straps, and surfaces between every patient.
Climate-controlled cabin
Independent rear A/C for the patient compartment. Smooth-ride suspension. Tinted windows for privacy.
When stretcher transport is the answer.
Hospital discharge to home
Post-surgical, post-stroke, or extended-stay discharge for patients who must remain lying down.
SNF transfers
Skilled nursing facility to hospital, hospital to SNF, or SNF-to-SNF transfers.
Hospice transport
End-of-life transitions to home or hospice facility. Gentleness is non-negotiable.
Post-surgical home delivery
Joint replacement, cardiac, abdominal, or neurosurgical patients who can't sit up safely.
Long-distance medical relocation
Bed-bound patients moving between cities for specialty care or to be near family.
Bed-bound to MRI, dialysis, specialty
Patients who can't sit up but need access to imaging, dialysis, or specialty appointments.
From your bed to theirs.

The things families ask.
What's the difference between this and an ambulance?
An ambulance is for active medical emergencies — paramedics, advanced life support, the works. Our stretcher service is for non-emergency transport: scheduled, planned, and lower cost. We don't transport unstable patients. If you need an ambulance, call 911. If you need to move a stable bed-bound patient safely between two locations, that's us.
What's the heaviest patient you can transport?
Our standard stretcher fleet handles up to 400 lbs. Our bariatric stretcher fleet handles up to 650 lbs. Above 650 lbs, we coordinate with specialized bariatric services — we'll never tell you "we can't help" without giving you a next step.
Will my insurance cover stretcher transport?
Coverage varies. Medicare Part B may cover stretcher transport when medical necessity is documented (typically requires a physician's certification). Medicaid coverage runs through brokers — we'll verify yours free of charge. Private insurance is case-by-case. We submit clean documentation to give you the best shot at reimbursement.
Can a family member ride with us?
Yes, one family member can ride free in the front passenger seat. Two attendants are working with the patient in the rear compartment, so we can't fit additional passengers there. Family members can also follow in their own vehicle and meet us at the destination.
How do you handle hospice patients?
With the gentleness and dignity that moment requires. Our attendants are trained specifically in hospice and end-of-life transport. We don't rush. We work with the hospice team's medication and comfort schedule. We treat every transport like it might be a final one — because sometimes it is.
How much notice do you need?
For routine bookings, 24 hours is ideal. Hospital discharges get same-day priority — typically 2–4 hours notice is workable. For after-hours discharge (weekends, holidays), call dispatch and we'll move fast.
