What is stretcher transportation?

Stretcher transportation is scheduled, non-emergency transportation for a medically stable passenger who cannot safely travel seated in a standard vehicle or wheelchair. The passenger remains positioned on a stretcher or transport gurney during loading, travel, and unloading.

Local Stretcher Service

Hagerstown’s Stretcher Transportation Provider

When a passenger cannot safely remain seated in a standard vehicle or wheelchair, planned stretcher transportation may provide an appropriate non-emergency travel option. Palmer Medical Transport coordinates stretcher van service for medically stable passengers traveling between Hagerstown residences, hospitals, rehabilitation programs, skilled nursing facilities, senior communities, outpatient practices, diagnostic locations, and approved regional destinations.

Hagerstown trips may involve the Robinwood medical campus, Downtown buildings, Valley Mall-area practices, North End residences, rural Washington County properties, and longer routes using I-70 or I-81. Before confirming service, we review passenger positioning, weight considerations, stairs, ramps, elevators, doorway width, driveway access, appointment or discharge timing, escort needs, pickup instructions, and whether the trip is one-way, round-trip, or a facility transfer.
