Scheduled non-emergency patient transportation
Hospital Visit Transportation in Upper Marlboro, MD
Palmer Medical Transport helps medically stable passengers arrange planned transportation from Upper Marlboro homes, apartments, townhouses, senior communities, care facilities and civic-area buildings to hospital appointments, procedures, testing, rehabilitation and follow-up care.
