Who we work with

  • Hospitals & discharge planners

    Room-to-vehicle transfers coordinated with unit nurses, social workers and case managers, so beds are freed up without delay.

  • Nursing & assisted living

    Scheduled rides for residents to physicians, specialists and family visits, with an escort from door to door.

  • Dialysis & treatment centers

    Recurring, on-time rides for dialysis, chemotherapy and radiation patients who depend on a steady schedule.

  • Rehab & outpatient clinics

    Reliable transport to physical therapy and outpatient procedures, including authorized adult escort for surgical releases.

Discharge coordination

Discharge delays tie up critical hospital beds and cause unnecessary stress for families. Our dispatch team coordinates directly with nursing stations and social work teams for rapid-turnaround pickups from regional hospitals back to private homes, assisted living facilities or rehabilitation centers.

We meet the patient in their room, transfer them securely to our wheelchair or stretcher, assist with personal belongings and prescription packets, and see them comfortably settled at their destination. For outpatient surgery, our drivers fulfil the facility’s requirement for a responsible adult escort and sign the patient out.

More about hospital discharge transportation

Facility accounts and billing

  • Facility & clinic contracts: tailored agreements for predictable, dedicated non-emergency transportation for your patients.
  • Authorized by case managers: transport can be booked under your facility account without the patient or on-site nurse handling payment during an urgent release.
  • Direct billing: monthly invoicing and corporate account billing.

Recurring and same-day rides

For dialysis, therapy and treatment schedules, we set up recurring rides with consistent pickup times. For unexpected discharges, we mobilize quickly for same-day requests based on vehicle availability across our service area.

Questions from facilities

Do your drivers come up to the patient’s room for a discharge?

Yes. We coordinate with floor nurses and case managers, bring the appropriate mobility equipment to the unit, assist with personal belongings and provide a continuous escort from the hospital bed to our vehicle and into the home.

Can you act as the responsible adult escort after outpatient surgery?

Yes. Our drivers can meet a facility’s requirement for an authorized adult escort, sign the patient out and see them safely home.

What happens if the discharge is delayed after the driver arrives?

Our drivers work with nursing staff, and the first 20 minutes of waiting are free. If extended waiting is needed, any wait-time fee is a clear, prorated rate explained by our dispatch team in advance.

How far in advance should facilities book?

We recommend 24 to 48 hours in advance to secure a preferred pickup window, and we make every effort to accommodate same-day and urgent discharge requests.
