Non-Emergency Medical Transport Services in British Columbia
Reliable Non-Emergency Medical Transport Services Across British Columbia
Western Pacific Emergency Response (WPEMS) provides non-emergency medical transport for patients who are travelling between medical facilities in British Columbia.
Our medical transport teams are based in Vancouver, Kamloops and Nanaimo, providing WPEMS Paramedics with full coverage for medical transport in British Columbia. Non-emergency medical transport via private ground ambulance means that while the patient is still under the care of highly trained and licensed Paramedics, the medical transport is booked on a pre-scheduled basis, and planned in advance.
Ground transportation can be a safe and secure alternative to costly air ambulance options.
We do not transport patients who need higher level of care, or those who need emergency care.
Examples of pre-scheduled, non-emergency patient transfers and medical transport that WPEMS provides in British Columbia include:
- Medical transport when leaving a healthcare facility (ie transfer from hospital to home)
- Medical transport for appointments, such as diagnostic imaging
- Medical transport and non-emergency ambulance transport between skilled nursing facilities
- Inter-regional transfers from one health authority, to another health authority, for instance, a patient moving from a hospital in Fraser Health to a hospital in Interior Health.
- Palliative care transfers
- Long distance medical transport between British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and the USA
As a pre-scheduled, non-emergency medical transport company in British Columbia, we ensure that when your appointment is booked, your ambulance and paramedic team will arrive at the scheduled time without interruption or delay.
