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.
Here’s how ACC Medlink does better than competing transportation services.
