 AMBULIMO for Bed-Bound Individuals – MEDSTAR EMS PA Launches First of Its Kind in the United States.
by

MEDSTAR EMS PA, a leader in Philadelphia’s mid-size BLS (Basic Life Support) ambulance transportation community, specializing in efficiently transporting bed-bound individuals to dialysis, hyperbaric and cancer treatments, today announced the deployment of the country’s first fleet of AMBULIMO vehicles. Part limousine, Part Ambulance - AMBULIMO is addressing a long standing need within the healthcare industry and doing what some call impossible; making ambulance service an experience to look forward to rather than dread. Hundreds of bed-bound people across Philadelphia who require transportation for their routine medical treatments are subjected to heavy apparatus and stress-filled environments, needlessly treated like victims of medical emergencies by their ambulance providers. AMBULIMO uses certified EMT Chauffeurs, redesigned top-of-the-line ambulance equipment, thicker, custom-built gel mattresses, CD/DVD player, on-board refreshments and a flower to end each trip are just some of the many features that make AMBULIMO stand apart from the crowd. CEO of MEDSTAR EMS PA and creator of AMBULIMO, Andrew Kravchuk explains the concept “We wanted to create a service that provides comfort, dignity, and encouragement to people dealing with chronic medical conditions." MEDSTAR EMS PA, located in Northeast Philadelphia is well respected in the medical transportation industry as a company that adheres to a strict code of compliance within EMS and Medicare regulations. With the new AMBULIMO brand, MEDSTAR EMS PA is setting new industry standards in customer care, with state of the art equipment and an EMS Team trained to provide first class service to each patient with emphasis on compassion. AMBULIMO is the first of its kind to bring VIP service to the Ambulance Transportation Industry. Visit – www.ambulimo.com for more details on this one of a kind service.
