Our Services and Expertise

Our primary services include emergency ambulance response, advanced life support care, basic life support transport, critical care inter-facility transfers, and specialized medical transport services. We are equipped to handle everything from routine medical transports to the most complex medical emergencies that require immediate intervention and rapid transport to appropriate medical facilities.

In addition to emergency response, we specialize in inter-facility transfers, safely transporting patients between hospitals, nursing facilities, and other healthcare institutions. These transfers often involve patients who require ongoing medical monitoring and care during transport, and our teams are specially trained to maintain continuity of care throughout the journey. Whether it's a patient who needs to be moved to a facility with specialized services or someone returning home from a hospital stay, we ensure safe, comfortable, and medically appropriate transport.

Equipment and Technology

Our GPS-equipped vehicles and computerized dispatch system help ensure the fastest possible response times to emergency calls.
