Basic Life Support Non-Emergency Ambulance Transport

Licensed EMT teams for scheduled patient runs, hospital discharges, skilled nursing transfers, and dialysis appointments across Central and Eastern Illinois.

Overview

The Right Level of Care for Stable Patients

Not every transport needs paramedic-level intervention. For stable patients, licensed EMT crews are the right clinical match, and choosing correctly saves your patient unnecessary cost and your facility unnecessary paperwork. Our dispatch team helps match transport level to acuity on every call.

The crew arrives with the right unit and equipment, then monitors the patient throughout the ride.

Handoff at the Destination

Care transferred to the receiving facility staff or family, with the details they need.

Capabilities

What Every BLS Crew Brings to the Transport

BLS is a lower acuity level, not a lower standard. Six things every crew brings.

Licensed EMT Teams

Every BLS unit is staffed with IDPH-licensed EMTs trained in patient assessment, monitoring, and basic airway management, with ongoing continuing education.
