Medical transport doesn't have to be a cramped, uncomfortable experience for people who need to travel long distances. SentinelMED offers luxury medical transport, with assistance from trained medical escorts, for a reasonably priced alternative to air ambulance or medical jet services.
What to Expect from Luxury Medical Transport
“Luxury” can mean different things to different people, but one definition is "great comfort." At SentinelMED, "great comfort" is second only to patient safety in the services we provide. Our team has decades of experience in emergency medicine and medical transport. We know what is required to offer reliable, comfortable, and safe luxury medical transport services to people in need.
Some of the benefits of choosing SentinelMED for luxury medical transport include:
First class or business class travel. Our logistics team regularly works with U.S. and international airlines to coordinate patient transport on commercial airlines. We make sure patients travel in first class or business class, which provide wider seats, more legroom, and opportunities to recline during long flights. On international flights, sleeping "pods" provide even more room for lying down so patients can stretch out, rest or sleep.
Door-to-door transport. Our logistics team handles all the details of transporting patients, whether they are traveling alone or with a loved one. They can arrange ground transportation from a medical center to the airport and from the airport to a patient's home or a receiving medical facility. They can help acquire travel documents such as visas for international travel and will communicate with a patient's family members or loved ones during every step of the process.
Assistance by trained escorts. The SentinelMED team includes medical and non-medical escorts who are paired with a patient based on their health care needs, native language, and any cultural concerns. Our medical escorts are physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and nurses who are trained or experienced in emergency and travel medicine.
Our medical and non-medical escorts accompany patients throughout the transport. They can assist with check-in, security screening, and throughout the flight and advocate for patients to ensure their comfort and safety. Our escorts can also provide necessary medical care, such as administering supplemental oxygen and medicine and checking vital signs.
Peace of mind. SentinelMED’s team has coordinated transport across the globe for medical emergencies, after natural disasters, and during military conflicts. That experience helps them anticipate and prepare for difficulties that can arise during transport, whether that involves flight cancellations or helping patients take steps to prevent blood clots during long-distance travel.
