Arrange a Transport

When considering a transport, call our toll-free transport hotline at (800) 266-0366. The hotline provides immediate access to a Transport Nurse Clinician who reviews the patient's symptoms, medical history and current condition.

To provide the best care possible for your patient's transport, you will be asked:

  • Patient's name.
  • Date of birth.
  • Weight.
  • Current vital signs.
  • Lab values (if available).
  • Radiological findings.
  • General assessment.

Team composition and mode of transport for your patient will be determined by the attending pediatric critical care physician based on patient acuity, the request of the referring physician, weather and distance.

If a specialized transport team is not required, any specialty service or physician is available for consultation upon request.
