Gurney transportation Los Angeles families ask about when sitting is not an option
When a loved one cannot sit upright, the question is no longer whether you can find a ride. It is whether anyone can move them safely. A taxi cannot. A wheelchair van cannot.
An ambulance can, but it is built for emergencies and priced accordingly. MedBridge fills the gap with non-emergency gurney and stretcher transportation for patients who are medically stable but must stay lying down.
Our stretcher vans carry a gurney that is secured for the whole trip. A two-person attendant team handles every transfer, one at the head and one at the foot, so the patient is lifted and moved with control. Both team members are CPR and First Aid certified and background-checked.
Who needs stretcher transport in Los Angeles
Gurney service is for patients who cannot sit up for the length of a ride.
That can be because of surgery, a fracture, pressure injuries, advanced illness, severe weakness or a condition that makes sitting painful or unsafe. The most common requests include:
Discharge from a hospital to home or to a skilled nursing facility
Transfers between a nursing facility and a clinic or hospital
Recurring treatment visits for patients who cannot sit
Rides home after a procedure, with a bed ready at the other end
Return trips for patients moving to a new care setting

Call (818) 788-0322Bed-to-bed medical transport, explained
Bed-to-bed medical transport means the patient is moved from their bed to the gurney, through the vehicle and onto the bed at the destination, without ever having to stand or sit.
Our team plans for stairs, narrow hallways and elevators before the day of the ride, so the transfer goes smoothly. If access is tricky, tell dispatch at (818) 788-0322 and we will ask the right questions.
How this differs from an ambulance
An ambulance carries paramedics and emergency equipment. Our non-emergency stretcher transportation does not. It is a scheduled, calm ride for patients who do not need clinical care during the trip.
If a patient might need monitoring or treatment on the way, a licensed ambulance is the right choice, and the patient's doctor or facility can help decide. For everything else, a gurney van service costs significantly less.
Ready when you are.Dispatch answers 24 hours a day. Most rides are confirmed in a few minutes.
Call (818) 788-0322How to prepare for a gurney ride
A little preparation makes the day easier. Have the patient's medications and paperwork ready for the team to carry. Let dispatch know about stairs, tight hallways or elevators.
Tell us whether the receiving facility has a bed ready, and who will meet the patient at the other end. If the patient has particular needs, such as pain with movement, mention them at booking so the team can plan the transfer carefully.
Where we operate
We provide stretcher transport Los Angeles wide and across Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Bernardino County and Riverside County.
Facilities that move gurney patients on a regular basis can ask about our facility partner program and facility transportation options. Pricing depends on the distance, round trip and waiting time, and no referral is required.

What families and care teams say
★★★★★
The driver helped my grandmother from her wheelchair all the way to the exam room. She was completely at ease by the time they arrived.

My father needs dialysis three times a week, and MedBridge has never once missed a pickup. The drivers treat him like family, not a fare.
Questions people ask before they book
Choose a gurney when the patient cannot sit upright for the length of the ride. If they can sit in a wheelchair, our wheelchair transportation is usually the better and more affordable option.
No. Our service is non-emergency and does not include paramedics or emergency equipment. If a patient might need treatment during the trip, a licensed ambulance is the right choice.
Often, yes. Stairs, elevators and narrow halls affect how we plan the transfer, so please describe the layout when you call. We will confirm what the team needs.
Cost depends on the distance, whether it is a round trip and any waiting time. Call (818) 788-0322 for a quote. It typically costs far less than an ambulance.
In most cases, yes. Tell dispatch when you book so we can plan seating for a companion.
We recommend 24 to 48 hours for gurney rides, and same-day requests are accommodated when capacity allows. Hospital discharges are often urgent, so call early in the day.
