Stretcher transport moves someone who has to stay lying down, and whose condition is stable enough that an ambulance is not what the trip calls for.
TSMO carries a stretcher, a lift platform and a defibrillator on board, with drivers trained in safe patient handling.
How is this different from an ambulance?
An ambulance responds to an emergency, with paramedics and the equipment an emergency needs.
Stretcher transport is planned. The person is stable, the destination is known, and the trip is booked in advance. That difference is what makes it available, affordable and schedulable.
What is on board?
A stretcher, a lift platform, a defibrillator, on-board electrical power, padded reclining geriatric wheelchairs and GPS fleet tracking. Vehicles exceed certification and inspection standards and are maintained continuously.
Can someone on oxygen travel?
Yes. Mention it when you book so the driver has the information before arriving.
Does it go long distance?
Yes. Montreal, elsewhere in Quebec, Toronto and northern Ontario. Every long trip gets a free quote for the specific itinerary.
