Long-distance support
What we offer
Nationwide reach
We transport patients to world-renowned medical centers, including the Mayo Clinic, MD Anderson, and Johns Hopkins.
Extended comfort
Upgraded climate control and wheelchair ramps keep the ride smooth over hundreds of miles, not just the first few.
Caregiver accommodations
One family member or companion may travel at no extra cost, so you have a familiar face the whole way.
Seamless coordination
We handle the logistics between the departing and receiving facilities so the handover goes smoothly at both ends.
Our long-distance process
Built for endurance, not just distance
We specialize in trips beyond the usual local limits, typically journeys of 50 to 200 miles and well past that. Everything about the service is set up around patient stability and comfort over a long day.
It suits patients who are stable but need mobility assistance: people living with chronic conditions, recovering after surgery, or managing a mobility impairment. We accommodate people in wheelchairs, or those who can walk.
What the service includes
| Vehicle type | Newer-model sedans and wheelchair ramp vans |
|---|---|
| Trip distance | From 50 miles to cross-country (2,000+ miles) |
| Medical gear | Accommodates power chairs, oxygen (up to size D), and luggage |
| Staffing | Two-driver teams available for trips exceeding 10 hours |
| Stops | Scheduled breaks for meals, medication, and comfort |
