ABOUT OUR AMBULANCE SERVICE

Medical Transport With Care Every Step of the Way

Nazarenus Hospital’s Ambulance Service provides medical transportation for patients who need safe and coordinated transfer between healthcare facilities or other appropriate destinations.

Our Type 2 Ambulance with Advanced Cardiac Life Support capability is designed to support patients who may require closer monitoring and medical assistance while in transit, including patients in critical condition.

From preparing the patient for transport to coordinating with the receiving healthcare team, our goal is to help make each transfer organized, responsive, and centered on the patient’s safety and medical needs.

UNDERSTANDING AMBULANCE TRANSPORT

More Than Transportation From One Place to Another

Medical transport may be required when a patient’s condition makes ordinary transportation inappropriate or when continued medical support is needed during transfer.

The level of support required depends on the patient’s condition, destination, and medical needs. For patients who are seriously ill or require closer observation, ambulance transport can provide an environment where appropriate monitoring and support can continue while the patient is in transit.

Patient Assessment & Preparation

The patient's condition and transport requirements are considered before transfer so the appropriate arrangements can be made.

Medical Support During Transport

Patients may receive appropriate monitoring and medical support throughout the journey based on their condition and transport needs.

Coordinated Transfer

Communication and coordination help support a smoother transition between Nazarenus Hospital and the patient's destination or receiving healthcare facility.

WHEN MEDICAL TRANSPORT MAY BE NEEDED

When Regular Transportation May Not Be Appropriate

Ambulance transport may be considered when a patient’s condition requires medical assistance, closer monitoring, or additional support while traveling.

This may include situations involving:
  • Patients in critical condition
  • Patients requiring transfer to another healthcare facility
  • Patients whose condition requires medical monitoring during transport
  • Patients who cannot safely travel using ordinary transportation
  • Transfers recommended or coordinated by the attending healthcare team

The appropriate transport arrangement should be determined according to the patient’s medical condition and the recommendation of the healthcare team.
