Medical Transportation Options

When considering non-emergency travel for a family member or even for yourself, which option is the safest. First and always, check with your doctor. There are a few good reasons not to travel by air, just a few being recent chest or abdominal surgery (less than 10 days), having a highly contagious infection, or unstable angina. Smoking is not good anytime, but especially not before a flight as it leads to increased dehydration, as does drinking alcohol. Dehyradation can lead to headaches and various other uncomfortable symptoms. Your options include air ambulance by jet, regional ground transportation of 500-1000 miles or across the country in a large medically configured motorcoach /motorhome. If you choose to travel by ground transportation, MedTransport Center offers comfort, reliability, and non-emergent medical care by way of a private nurse. Your trip is non-stop with 2 professional drivers onboard who see to the need of the client and/or any family members every need during the trip.

A full medical report is received and reviewed so that staff of MedTransport Center can make sure that proper foods, as well as all needed medications are on board and are able to be administered as needed during the trip. Communication during the trip between family members is encouraged for the peace of mind of the client and the waiting family.
