Ground Transportation
Atlantic Ambulance boasts a fleet of vehicles designed to transport patients with a wide range of needs.
Mobility Assistance Vehicles (MAVs): For patients that can sit in a wheelchair and do not require assistance during the transport.
Basic Life Support (BLS): For patients that cannot sit in a wheelchair unattended for the duration of the transport, and require the care of an EMT.
Advanced Life Support (ALS): This service is dispatched after a call has been placed to 911 for a patient that requires care above and beyond the assistance of an EMT. Two Paramedics staff this type of transport.
Specialty Care Transport Unit (SCTU): For the most acutely ill or injured patients who require the highest level of licensure an ambulance provider can obtain from the NJ Department of Health and senior services (DOHSS). A critical care nurse and two EMTs staff this type of transport, resulting in superior patient care.
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU): Specialty transport for premature babies and newborns who need to be transferred to a hospital with a neonatal intensive care unit. The NICU truck is equipped with an isolette, and patients are transported with a Physician/Nurse Practitioner and two EMTs.
Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU): Specialty transport for children under the age of 18 who need to be transferred to a hospital with a pediatric intensive care unit. Patients are transported with a Physician/Nurse Practitioner and two EMTs.
