Katy service
Who We Serve
Katy is an I-10 town, and that shapes every transport here. A patient leaving Memorial Hermann Katy for a rehab bed in Cinco Ranch stays local. A transfer to the Energy Corridor or the Texas Medical Center travels I-10 east. Dispatch checks the I-10 and Grand Parkway (SH 99) pattern before setting a pickup time.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Preferred EMS serve Katy?
Yes. We schedule BLS, ALS and MICU transports across Katy, from Cinco Ranch and Cross Creek Ranch to Fulshear. Hospitals, nursing facilities, rehab centers, dialysis clinics, hospice and families all book through the same 24/7 dispatch line.
Can Katy hospitals and facilities book transfers with you?
Yes. Katy hospitals, SNFs and rehab centers call dispatch directly. Dispatch needs the two facility names, the level of care requested and the target pickup time. From there we schedule the unit and confirm back to your case manager.
How do I request a Katy ambulance transport?
Two ways: call (713) 791-9000 or submit the online request. Either way, dispatch gathers the pickup point, destination, level of care if known, date and time, and a contact number, then confirms the details back to you.
What should I have ready before I call about a Katy pickup?
Pickup location, destination address, the requested service level when known, the date and time, and requester contact information so dispatch can reach you. Keep diagnoses, medical records and insurance IDs out of the online request form. Dispatch will ask for any details it needs when they call.
