Serving Fort Lauderdale

A medical transport service Fort Lauderdale families can count on

Fort Lauderdale is the hub of Broward County's medical network, from Broward Health Medical Center downtown to Holy Cross Health and Broward Health Imperial Point in the north. We transport passengers to and from these campuses by wheelchair van, stretcher, or ambulatory ride, handle discharges home and rehab transfers, and provide assisted rides to and from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport for traveling patients and families.

Fort Lauderdale mixes narrow residential streets in Victoria Park and Rio Vista with beachfront condo towers that have valet and a set loading zone, so we ask what the building requires before the driver arrives. Broward Health Medical Center and Holy Cross both sit close to Federal Highway, and the drawbridges along the waterway are worth a few extra minutes in the schedule. For airport runs we meet riders at the terminal entrance rather than the curb lane.

Our trained team brings every Fort Lauderdale passenger the same door-through-door care we provide across all of South Florida, on time, every time. Recurring trips and standing orders are welcome.

Questions from Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale transportation FAQs

Do you handle airport pickups at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International?

Yes. We meet the rider at the terminal entrance and help from there to the vehicle, then door-through-door at home. Wheelchair and stretcher vehicles are both available, and this is one of our most common trips for seasonal residents arriving for the winter.

Can you get a wheelchair out of an older home with steps?

Usually yes. Many Fort Lauderdale houses have a step or two at the entry, and our drivers are trained to manage them safely. Tell dispatch about steps, a narrow hallway, or a tight doorway when you book so we send the right vehicle and enough help.
