Thanks. . It is a 16 hour drive and the patient is too too sick for that. They need supportive care at the ready.

Thanks,, I guess the social worker will manage things.

When we needed this, the hospital social worker helped to arrange the transportation.

Will ths hospital or social worker provide referrals? This seems tricky to just wing it on recommendations.

A friend will require this, to transfer hospitals. It is way too far to drive.

Does anyone know a good company and/or who arranges it (insurance company? Sending hospital? Receiving hospital?)

Thanks.
