Coordinated Airport Medical Transportation
Airport-related medical transportation may involve coordination between a residence, hospital, healthcare facility, airport-area destination, patient, family, and healthcare team. Preferred EMS works with referring and receiving parties to help arrange ambulance transportation based on the specific request and the level of care identified by the healthcare team or requested by the patient and family.
Our dispatch team coordinates origin and destination details, confirms the requested level of transport, and communicates with the relevant parties throughout the process. BLS, ALS, or MICU transport can be arranged based on the transport requirements identified by the referring healthcare team and Preferred EMS dispatch.
