Our Commitments
What Bariatric Transport Should Look Like
Too many bariatric patients delay or avoid medical care because they have had humiliating experiences with transportation providers. That is a healthcare crisis — and it is preventable.
We train every driver in dignity-first patient care. We bring the right equipment. We send a two-person crew. And we treat every patient with the same professionalism we would want for our own family members.
Dignity First, Always
Our drivers are trained in dignity-first care. No judgment, no commentary, no embarrassment. Every patient is treated with the same respect regardless of size.
Bariatric-Rated Equipment
Reinforced wheelchairs, bariatric stretchers, and heavy-duty tie-down systems rated for higher weight capacities. The right equipment for safe transport.
Trained Two-Person Crew
Bariatric transport requires a two-person crew for safe loading, unloading, and transfer. We never send a single driver for bariatric patients.
Wide-Door Access
Our MV-1 vans feature wide-door access and a full-width ramp — designed for accessibility, not retrofitted for it.

Do I need to tell you my weight when booking?
We ask for a general weight range when booking bariatric transport — not to judge, but to ensure we bring the right equipment and crew. This information is kept strictly confidential and used only for safety planning.
Can you transport bariatric patients on stretchers?
Yes. We have bariatric-rated stretchers for patients who cannot sit upright. The same dignity-first approach applies to all bariatric stretcher transport.
Do you serve bariatric patients for recurring appointments like dialysis?
Yes. We serve bariatric patients for all types of recurring medical transport — dialysis, chemotherapy, physical therapy, and specialist appointments. We can set up a recurring schedule so you never have to rebook.
What is the cost of bariatric transportation?
Our standard rate is $7.50 per mile. Bariatric transport may have a higher base rate due to the specialized equipment and two-person crew required. Call us for a quote specific to your trip.
Do you serve bariatric patients for hospital discharge?
Yes. Hospital discharge is one of the most common bariatric transport requests. We coordinate directly with discharge planners and nursing staff to ensure a safe, dignified transfer from hospital to home or care facility.
