What is ambulatory medical transportation?
Ambulatory transportation is a door-to-door ride for patients who can walk, with or without a cane or walker, but need a driver's help getting out the door, into the vehicle and into the appointment. MedBridge provides it across Southern California, 24/7.

Senior medical transportation Los Angeles families can book with confidence
Plenty of older adults still walk on their own, but a trip across town is not simple. Getting into a car is harder than it used to be. Parking structures are confusing. Waiting rooms are long, and the ride home can be tiring.
Many seniors also no longer drive, and their children cannot take another afternoon off work. MedBridge offers senior medical transportation Los Angeles families can book directly, with drivers who treat every trip as a personal appointment.
We call this ambulatory transportation, which simply means the patient can walk. It is not a bus and it is not a taxi.
Our drivers are trained in patient assistance, CPR and First Aid, and they are background-checked. They give the arm to hold, the extra minute at the curb and the quiet reassurance that makes the day easier.
What door to door medical transportation really means
Door to door medical transportation should begin at the door, not the curb. Our drivers come to the entrance, help the patient with steps and with seat belts and walk them to the check-in desk at the clinic or hospital.
If the patient uses a cane or a walker, the driver helps load it. When the appointment ends, we are there for the ride home, and we make sure the patient is safely inside before we leave.
Help with steps, curbs and building entrances
Walkers and canes loaded and secured
Patient pacing, with no rush at either end
Wait-and-return trips, arranged in advance
A familiar driver whenever possible for recurring rides
Medical transportation for seniors with memory or mobility concerns
Medical transportation for seniors often involves more than mobility. Some patients are anxious about leaving home. Some have early memory loss and do better with a calm, repeated routine. Others recover slowly from surgery and need an unhurried pace.
Tell dispatch about the person's needs when you book and we will match the trip accordingly. Families often tell us that a familiar driver is the single most helpful detail, so we assign the same driver for standing rides whenever we can.
Who ambulatory medical transport is right for
Ambulatory medical transport fits people who can walk and sit upright for the length of a ride. If the patient needs to stay in a chair, wheelchair transportation is the better fit.
If the patient must lie down, we offer gurney transportation. For patients who walk to treatment several times a week, our dialysis transportation service sets up a standing schedule.
We serve Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Bernardino County and Riverside County. Call (818) 788-0322 for a quote. No referral is required, and pricing depends on the distance, a round trip and any waiting time.
A quick note on cost: because ambulatory rides use a standard vehicle rather than a lift or a gurney, they are typically the most affordable of our services. If the patient can walk and sit upright, it is often the right place to start.
Other ways MedBridge gets patients where they need to go
Every ride is matched to the patient's mobility needs. No one-size-fits-all vans, no rushed drivers.
