Why Choose Us for Your Medical Transport
Cost
Our base price is $150 for a two-way trip, with extra charges dependant on time and distance travelled.
The cost of our service is a fraction of the fee charged by standard stretcher services.
Comfort
Patients who have experience riding on a stretcher often tell just how much more comfortable our vehicles are to ride in.
Less Motion Sickness
Patients experience less motion sickness sitting in a forward-facing position with us.
You can enjoy the ride, seeing what’s ahead of you rather than attempting to peer out a rear window. Because we use Dodge Grand Caravans, it is as comfortable and enjoyable as a Sunday drive in your own vehicle.
We Wait With You
We can pick you up at your door or we can enter your home and assist you. We can attend your appointment with you or wait for you
Perks
If it is coffee time on our way home, we can drive through Tim Horton's! Upon arrival home, we make sure you are comfortably back in your favourite chair before we leave.
Wide Service Area
We primarily serve Winnipeg and the Interlake/Eastman Region. However, we have gone much further afield to other provincial regions when called upon.
We can also potentially transfer Inter provincially or even into the US.
Availability
We have 8 vans and two cars in our fleet, so it is rare for us to need to turn down an appointment.
As demand for our service grows, we continually add both vehicles and paramedics to meet those needs.
Confirmed Bookings
When you book with Community Paramedics Service Inc., the call can not be upstaged by a higher priority call. When you make an appointment, we keep it, unless you need to cancel it.
Accessibility/Versatility
There are many tight spaces in homes and facilities that stretchers can not negotiate. Wheelchairs, however, are much more versatile.
Our wheelchairs are specially crafted so they can accommodate a broad range of positions for patients.
Experienced medical professionals
We use off duty and retired paramedics, allied health professionals, and medical transport specialists familiar with patient lifting/handling, facilities, and medical conditions.
Experienced medical escorts
Our staff function as the patient escort so facilities or families do not need to spend money on using additional staff to accompany patients.
Advocacy
When our paramedics are with a patient, we treat them like family. We will make sure they get where they need to go on time and attend to all their personal needs en route.
After the call is done, we don’t leave you at the doorway. We will make sure you are safely settled inside.
