Every level of care. One trusted transport partner.
From a short ride to a routine checkup to a bed-level transfer between facilities, MedBridge Cares matches every patient with the right vehicle, the right equipment, and a driver trained to help — across Southern California, 24 hours a day.
What services does MedBridge Cares offer?
MedBridge Cares offers four core non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) services in Southern California: wheelchair transportation, gurney & stretcher transport, ambulatory transport, and long-distance medical transport. All rides are ADA-compliant, staffed by CPR-certified drivers, and available 24/7 across Los Angeles County, Orange County, and the Inland Empire — with no doctor's referral required.
Wheelchair Transportation
ADA-compliant vans with hydraulic lifts and four-point wheelchair securement, staffed by drivers trained to handle boarding, securing, and unloading with care — no transfer to a different seat required.
Ideal for
- Routine doctor and specialist visits
- Dialysis, infusion, and chemotherapy appointments
- Assisted living and memory care residents
- Manual and power wheelchair users
What's included
- Hydraulic lift & four-point wheelchair securement
- Door-through-door assistance
- Trained, CPR-certified driver escort
- Return-trip coordination — no waiting at the curb
Gurney & Stretcher Transport
For patients who need to stay lying down for the entire trip, our stretcher-equipped vehicles and trained attendant teams provide safe, bed-level transport between hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, rehab centers, and home.
Ideal for
- Post-surgical and post-acute patients
- Bedbound or non-ambulatory residents
- Wound care and complex medical transfers
- Hospital-to-SNF or SNF-to-home discharges
What's included
- Specially equipped stretcher vehicle
- Two-person trained attendant team
- Careful bed-to-gurney and gurney-to-bed transfer
- Coordination with facility nursing staff
Ambulatory Transport
For patients who can walk but shouldn't drive themselves — or shouldn't go alone — ambulatory transport pairs a reliable ride with a driver who takes the time to walk beside you, not just drop you at the curb.
Ideal for
- Seniors who no longer drive
- Patients recovering from procedures or sedation
- Dialysis and treatment patients who can walk
- Anyone who needs a steady hand, not a wheelchair
What's included
- Door-to-door pickup and drop-off
- Assisted walking from home to vehicle and back
- Unhurried, patient-paced scheduling
- Available for one-time or recurring appointments
Long-Distance Medical Transport
When a patient needs to reach a specialty care center outside Southern California, MedBridge Cares coordinates safe, extended-hour transport with experienced drivers and vehicles matched to the patient's mobility level for the entire journey.
Ideal for
- Specialty care outside the Southern California service area
- Inter-hospital transfers across California
- Patients relocating to out-of-area facilities
- Multi-hour trips requiring rest and comfort stops
What's included
- Vehicle matched to wheelchair, gurney, or ambulatory need
- Route and timing coordinated in advance
- Experienced long-haul medical transport drivers
- Direct communication with receiving facility

Support built around how patients actually get care.
These aren't separate line items — they're part of how we deliver every service above.
Recurring Scheduling
Standing weekly transport for dialysis, chemotherapy, infusion, and rehab — coordinated to your treatment center's exact timing so appointments are never missed.
Facility Coordination
A direct line for discharge planners, case managers, and social workers — with multi-patient scheduling, billing support, and priority dispatch for partner facilities.
24/7 Live Dispatch
A real person answers the phone — day or night — to confirm rides, handle last-minute changes, and get same-day requests on the schedule when capacity allows.
Booked in minutes, whichever service you need.
One call. We match the vehicle, dispatch the driver, and handle both legs of the trip.
Call (818) 788-0322 with pickup details, destination, and mobility level.
Wheelchair, gurney, ambulatory, or long-distance — the right setup, every time.
Your driver arrives on time and assists from the door through the entire trip.
We handle the return ride too — no calling a rideshare from the waiting room.
