New Hampshire long distance medical transport to or from anywhere in the state, from Nashua up to the North Country: a real bed, a medical pro aboard, family along.
Answered 24/7 · Trips often scheduled within days
New Hampshire is too small for a long trip to stay inside it. Pittsburg, up on the Quebec line, is 193 road miles from Nashua, and even that falls short of our 200-mile minimum. So nearly every trip we drive here has one end somewhere else. A daughter in New Jersey may want her father closer after a bad winter in Laconia, a drive of 357 road miles to Trenton. A son in Cleveland may need his mother brought to Dartmouth Hitchcock in Lebanon, 601 road miles away, and taken home again when it's over. Whichever way the trip runs, your loved one lies in a real bed with a medical professional aboard, and one of you can ride along.

To and from New Hampshire, state to state, bed to bed
Families call us for this trip when:
We can load at a hospital room in Concord, a nursing home in Keene or a farmhouse past Colebrook. The next bed can be in any of the lower 48 states.
And they call us for this one when:
We can start at a bedside anywhere in the lower 48. The last stretch might be Medical Center Drive in Lebanon or a camp road on Winnipesaukee. Tell us which, and we'll plan for it.
The van and the crew are our own on every one of these trips, and each one runs in both directions. Not sure which fits? Tell us how your loved one is doing today, and we'll work it out with you on the phone.
Almost every New Hampshire trip belongs here, since so few clear 200 miles inside the state. One end might be Portsmouth and the other Toms River, New Jersey, 338 road miles away, in whichever order you need. We go bed to bed, with our own crew from start to finish.
Between Concord and Cincinnati lie 859 road miles. That's a lot to ask of someone who can't sit up, whether they're leaving New Hampshire or coming home to it. In our van your loved one lies on a real bed with a memory-foam mattress, so they can sleep through the long hours in the middle.
Maybe one more winter on a hill in Wolfeboro is too much, and your mother is coming to live with you in Ohio. Or she's leaving New Jersey to be near you in Nashua. Our crews don't hurry an older person out the door, and memory loss and nerves are familiar to them.
Some people want their last weeks looking at the lake or the mountains they've known all their lives. Others want to be with grown children in another state. When time is short, we work directly with the hospice team and put comfort first.
A bariatric trip between Rochester and Akron, Ohio runs 707 road miles in either direction, and nothing about it gets improvised. We bring a van equipped for the job, a lift and stretcher rated for bariatric patients, and a trained crew. Tell us ahead of time about narrow farmhouse stairs or tight doors at either end, so your loved one keeps their dignity on the way in and out.
Has someone mentioned a medical flight to or from Manchester or Lebanon? If your loved one is stable, going by road costs a fraction of that bill, and a family member can come along. If they aren't stable, we'll tell you so honestly. A plane needs a ground ride at each end. Our van starts at one bed and stops at the next.
New Hampshire has major care of its own. Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon is the state's only academic medical center and its only Level I trauma center. Dartmouth Cancer Center describes itself as one of three National Cancer Institute designated comprehensive centers in New England. Northeast Rehabilitation Hospital Network runs acute rehab hospitals in Salem, Nashua, Portsmouth and Manchester, and Catholic Medical Center in Manchester offers advanced heart care. If a doctor has arranged a place for your loved one, we can drive from their bed in another state to the admitting door, and home again afterward.

We aren't affiliated with any of these four, and they're only a sample. We can drop off at any hospital, rehab center, nursing home or house in New Hampshire, and bring your loved one back from it. Miles run from one city center to the other.
Give us any address in New Hampshire. About three in ten of the state's people live in Hillsborough County, where Manchester and Nashua have four general hospitals between them. Coos County, at the top of the map, had just 31,268 people in the 2020 Census, and Berlin to Pittsburg alone is 70 road miles. We go to both. The one limit is the 200 miles. For a ride like Berlin to Manchester, 131 road miles, a local service is the better fit.

Each example works in both directions, measured city center to city center. Your own quote comes from the two real addresses.
One call and we handle everything, and you'll have a real number today.
Call, or use the quote form, with the two ends of the trip: a Concord hospital and a house in Dayton, 823 road miles apart, or the same drive in reverse. That same day, you get one price for all of it.
Case managers at places like Elliot and Dartmouth Hitchcock work to discharge dates. So do hospitals in Ohio or New Jersey sending someone home. Give us the date, and we'll plan backward from it.
They bring your loved one out to the Mercedes Sprinter and settle them on a real bed. A medical professional stays aboard the whole ride. One family member can come too, with a real seat and a bed to rest on.
On a long run, like the 664 road miles between Littleton and Youngstown, Ohio, two drivers take turns, so the van keeps going while your loved one rests. Whichever way you're headed, the crew sees them into the next bed at the far end.
I-93 runs about 132 miles north from the Massachusetts line through Manchester, Concord and Littleton. The Everett Turnpike links Nashua with Manchester and heads on toward Concord. I-89 splits off in Bow and covers about 61 miles to Lebanon and the Vermont line. On the Seacoast, I-95 crosses the state in about 16 miles. Route 16 climbs from Portsmouth past Rochester to Conway and Berlin. Whether your loved one is leaving or coming home, these roads are the first or last miles of the drive.
New Hampshire gets from 60 to more than 100 inches of snow a year, and winter is hardest in the north and the mountains. Route 16 goes through Pinkham Notch beside Mount Washington, whose summit averages about 280 inches a season. In Franconia Notch, I-93 narrows to one lane each way at 45 mph. If your date is in winter, leave some room around it. We watch the forecast and move the trip if the roads aren't safe, whether the van is leaving Berlin or heading north from New Jersey. New England 511 shows road conditions.
Some retirees spend the cold months in Florida. A health scare in Fort Myers can leave a Concord family 1,516 road miles from home. Summer works the other way. Cottages on the lakes and the seacoast draw visitors from Boston and New York, and a bad fall in Wolfeboro can mean a long trip home. If home is Columbus, Ohio, that's 795 road miles. We drive these trips in both directions, whatever the season.
Our minimum is 200 miles, and New Hampshire rarely gets there. Concord to Lebanon is 57 road miles. Manchester to Lebanon is 72. Colebrook to Nashua is 174, and Pittsburg to Nashua is 193. We'd rather tell you that today than waste your time. For rides like those, a local medical transport service is the better fit.
Massachusetts General Hospital and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute are close to the state line. Nashua to Boston is 45 road miles, Manchester is 53, Keene is 91, Lebanon is 121 and Berlin is 182. Those rides fall under our minimum. Colebrook just clears it at 205. Where we can help is the long trip around that care: your loved one finishes treatment in Boston and home is far away, or comes from far away to start it. Boston to Cleveland is 639 road miles, and we drive that in either direction.
The 2020 Census counted 19.3% of New Hampshire's people at 65 or older. When one of them lands in the hospital, the call may reach a son in Ohio or a daughter in New Jersey. We can bring your parent from Concord or Keene to a bed near you. And if your parent is the one out of state and you've settled in Dover or Bedford, the same trip runs the other way.
You get one figure for the whole trip, and once you say yes, that's the figure you pay. Six things move it, whether you're headed from a Seacoast condo to a Cleveland hospital or the other way around.
Distance matters most. Manchester to Hartford, at 135 road miles, doesn't reach our 200-mile start. Nashua to Trenton, at 297, does. Long routes run more efficiently, so 1,000 miles won't cost five times what 200 does.
A patient who mostly needs a bed and someone watching over them costs less to move than one on continuous oxygen. A bariatric-rated lift and stretcher also adds to the price. Tell us what the discharge team at either end has ordered, and we'll price what your loved one needs.
The 702 road miles between Keene and Columbus, in either direction, take two drivers in rotation plus the medical professional, so the van can keep rolling while your loved one sleeps. Shorter runs need fewer people.
A date we can plan for costs less than a van that has to leave tomorrow, and that goes for a bed waiting in New Hampshire too. In winter, leave room for a storm to move the date. In September and October, tell us early if your route touches the Kancamagus Highway between Lincoln and Conway, when leaf-peepers crowd it.
A hospital entrance in Manchester is a simple pickup. A farmhouse on a dirt road in March or April is a different job, because that's mud season in northern New England. Tell us about the road, the stairs and the doors at both ends.
Tell us what your loved one uses each day, such as oxygen, a specialty mattress or bariatric gear. It comes along for the whole drive, from Portsmouth to Ohio or from New Jersey up to Lebanon. If they don't need it, it stays behind.
This is private pay, so your family pays us directly by card, check or bank transfer. CareCredit financing is available, and veterans can ask about our discount.
