What Is Stretcher & Gurney Transportation?
Stretcher transportation is scheduled non-emergency transportation for a passenger who needs to travel reclined, supported or otherwise cannot comfortably use a standard passenger seat for the planned trip.
People also search for gurney transportation, medical stretcher transport, patient transport gurney, stretcher medical transport and non-emergency stretcher transport. These terms describe the same general transportation intent: moving a passenger who needs stretcher- or gurney-based travel without requiring emergency ambulance care.
The trip should be reviewed before scheduling because the passenger’s positioning needs, equipment, pickup access, destination, route and timing can affect the transportation plan.
