Transportation for Pediatric Patients and Their Families

Transportation for Pediatric Patients and Their Families — JAX NEMT medical transportation article

Specialty care for a child often means recurring trips across the city. Here's how families manage it.

Parents ride along

A parent or guardian always rides with a pediatric patient. Tell dispatch how many caregivers are coming so the seating and any equipment are planned for.

Equipment and routine

Pediatric wheelchairs, standers, oxygen and feeding equipment all travel with us. Children with sensory sensitivities do far better with a consistent driver and a consistent vehicle, which a standing schedule makes possible.

The therapy calendar

Weekly therapy appointments are the classic candidate for a standing weekly trip — same day, same time, discounted rate, one setup call.
