Pender Transport Service Division
The Mission of the Pender Transport Service Division within Pender EMS & Fire, Inc., is to provide non-emergency transportation to citizens both in and out of Pender County who are unable to safely travel by other means due to medical disabilities. This service is available year-round and is provided 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Currently we provide these services on 8 sprinter ambulances and 5 wheelchair vans. The PTS Division is staffed with 7 full-time personnel and 30 part-time employees that serve as both EMTs on sprinter ambulances and wheelchair van drivers. Pender Transport Service works closely with local hospitals, Home health, and multiple nursing home facilities in providing services to patients.
Patients are transported to doctor’s appointments, dialysis treatments, outpatient procedures, transferred and/or discharged to and from hospitals and nursing homes as well as private residences. Patients are sometimes transported out-of-state as well. Many patients are unable to travel safely by car or other means due to medical debilities such as being weak, unable to ambulate, or needing oxygen. When a transport is needed, citizens and healthcare providers can request our services via telephone by calling the toll free telephone number to our dispatch office. This phone number is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and callers reach a live person who can assist them with their transport needs. The primary goal of the Pender Transport Service division is to provide excellent care to our patients while safely transporting them to their destination.
