Hospital Discharge Transport Across New York City and Northern New Jersey

Getting discharged is supposed to feel like relief, but for most families the hard part starts the moment the doctor signs the order. The patient is weak, the room needs to turn over, the curb outside is no place for someone who just had surgery, and a rideshare is not built to carry a person who cannot stand, sit upright, or manage stairs. One United EMS exists for exactly that gap. We provide EMT-staffed, same day hospital discharge transportation throughout New York City and Northern New Jersey, moving patients safely from the hospital bed to home, to a rehab center, to a skilled nursing facility, or to assisted living. We are licensed and insured, available 24/7, and we coordinate directly with the discharge planner so the ride is confirmed before you ever pick up the phone to worry about it. Whether the patient needs a wheelchair van, a stretcher transport, oxygen on board, or two person stair assist into a fifth floor walk up, we match the level of care to the patient and we show up on time. This page covers how discharge transport works across the metro, the levels of service we run, the hospitals and rehab facilities we serve, what insurance covers, and what to expect on discharge day. From there you can drop into the page for your specific city for local hospital, dialysis, and rehab detail.
