Discharging patients from the hospital is one of the most important and complex steps of patient care. Case managers and hospital staff who oversee hospital discharges must arrange safe transportation for patients who often have significant medical needs. They may also face complications that include logistical hurdles, tight timelines, and the need for specialized care.
Most importantly, their decisions can impact patient outcomes and a hospital’s reputation. At Flying Angels, we understand the pressure you’re under. We specialize in non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) that can help with hospital discharge transportation.
We offer safe, seamless hospital discharges. Our bedside-to-bedside service is led by experienced flight nurses and coordinated by registered nurse flight coordinators who manage every detail of the journey. When you partner with Flying Angels, you gain a trusted ally committed to helping your patients transition from hospital to home or another facility with comfort, care, and clinical expertise.
