Bariatric Transport Service

ACC Medlink is the leader in long-distance bariatric transportation (minimum 200 miles). We provide excellent patient care and we go the extra mile to ensure that our bariatric patients are comfortable and safe. Our luxury medical transport vehicles are large enough to stand inside of them, and there is plenty of room for multiple people to sit comfortably. Family and loved ones are more than welcome to accompany the patient to their new location.

Treated With Dignity

Bariatric patients often face discrimination and embarrassment because of their size. Obesity is a disease that affects over one-third of the adult American population. ACC Medlink provides a service that offers the patient both safety and dignity. Our Mercedes Sprinter has some unique features that make it the optimal vehicle for these types of transports.

The patient is transferred on a hydraulically powered ambulance cot with a 700 lb. capacity that raises and lowers the patient with the touch of a button.
The rear cargo doors open 270 degrees, which makes the boarding process less stressful for the patient.
Interior beds can be pushed together to create double-wide mattress to accommodate the patient comfortably.
