Little thought is given by most people when it comes to medical transportation.   However, if you are morbidly obese, or say 400 pounds or more, there is a problem.  Certainly folks today who are morbidly obese are facing more and more challenges when it comes to transportation.  The recent removal of an overweight movie producer from a commercial airline has brought this situation to light most recently.  MedTransport Center is a leader in bariatric medical transportation.  With highly trained staff who are sensitive to the needs of these underserved patients and safety trained to provide the highest quality of service, MedTransport Center is the first choice of many of the leading bariatric centers thoughout the country for long distance service.   Call today 1-800-311-3412, and talk with a travel coordinator to see what sets MedTransport Center apart, as the premiere long distance bariatric medical transportation service.

Has “global warming” got you longing for sunny skies and warm ocean breezes?  Are you wishing that you could spend time with family and friends this spring but just do not want to deal with  the perils of driving or dealing with the unpredictable spring weather conditions.  Does the thought of planning the trip and doing all the driving  have you wishing that you could hire someone to do all that for you.  Maybe some not so serious medical condition, like a bad back, or having to make frequent “potty” stops, keeps you from planing your trip.  MedTransport Center could be just what you are looking for.  Your trip can be arranged for you, start to finish, and all you have to do is relax.    Imagine traveling on a motor coach with 2 full time professional drivers along with a private nurse or medical attendant.  The drivers take turns driving so that you can travel straight thru to your destination without the hassle of stopping to find a hotel and moving your luggage all around.  While driving, you can relax lying down or sitting comfortably, reading, watching a video, or just enjoying the sites, without the hassle of traffic.  Food of your choice is available on the coach, and any meal that you may want to stop for, whether it be a coffee or a steak, is also included in the cost.  The coach offers extra room in the cargo area for larger items that you might like to bring, but would not be convenient to bring in a car or even a van.  There is even room for the family pet.  Imagine, a hassle free, comfortable, and safe trip – whether one way or both ways – your well-being is our number one concern.  Please call 1-800-311-3412 today for a quote.  We look forward to being of service to you.

The makeup of the medical  crew staffing an air ambulance varies depending on country, area, service provider, and type of air ambulance.  Services with a primary focus on critical care are more likely to be staffed by physicians, nurses, and paramedics with five years or more of specially-trained advanced care, the objective being rapid delivery of definitive care.   Some air ambulance operations have full-time, on-site medical directors with emergency medicine backgrounds, as with MedTransportCenter.com.    Dr. Kenneth Kreye MD. FACEP  is board certified in Emergency Medicine and has 24 years experience in Aviation Medicine flying and transporting over 500 patients per year since 1983.  Dr. Kreye oversees all transports and himself provides in-flight medical care. 

Dr. Kreye is the  medical advisor for Angel Flight of America since 1996 and advises hospital physicians across the USA on flight physiology, oxygen  and patient  requirements for in-flight medical care.

Dr. Kreye is also the medical advisor for Care Trans Non-profit Charity non-emergency long distance ground medical transportation. 

In addition, Dr. Kreye provides consultation  for travel insurance / travel  assistance companies.
