Saskatchewan Patient Transfer Services

🚨 If only Saskatchewan had a dedicated non-emergency patient transfer service provider ready to be part of the overall solution in the shortage, burnout, and workload issues that our citizens’ valued and relied upon professional Paramedics face daily…

Wait, it does, and we’ve been here since 2018 helping the Saskatchewan Health Authority daily wherever we can with low-acuity, stable patient transportation by stretcher.

Unfortunately, EMS, our highest level pre-hospital service for emergencies is spread thin to the point of being completely unavailable on a daily basis because of misuse that the Ministry of Health inadvertently promotes by subsidizing the costs for only ambulances to complete patient discharges to home hospital or long-term care facilities, scheduled medical appointments, living relocations, etc.

Although we are able to provide the same professional level of service for non-emergencies, the provincial government continues to turn a blind eye to how we can save Saskatchewan taxpayers millions of dollars while simultaneously increasing ambulance availability without adding any more resources to the system.

When a rural ambulance leaves their community for Regina or Saskatoon on a non-emergency basis simply because it is “free” or heavily subsidized for the patient, communities daily go without help or face extremely long response times for time-critical emergencies like heart attacks, childbirth, choking, strokes, seizures, etc.

Ambulance response times and lack of availability is a continual news headline; how many citizens need to potentially knock on death’s door for the Ministry of Health’s Acute & Emergency Services Branch to want to meet with us to discuss change so we can help with this dire crisis? 🚨

Today when the wonderful staff of the Pasqua Hospital Palliative Care Unit called us to help get Dave outside to spend a little time in the fresh spring prairie air with family and his horses, we said say no more!

It was our absolute privilege to make this happen!

Brad & Aicha, two of our fabulous Patient Transfer Specialists even teamed up with Regina’s local Fresh Carnival to get a carafe of hot coffee, amazing custom donuts and cupcakes for the family and the palliative hospital unit. Their donation of delicious treats shows how local businesses support our community back!

A giant thank you to our staff, Fresh Carnival & the palliative care team for making this happen for Dave & his family.

It’s not a goodbye, it’s see you later Dave! Your family and horses at Rough Bark Arena love you sir.

In continually striving for industry excellence and being the SHA’s primary provider of non-emergency stretcher transportation services, we are beyond thrilled to announce that we have added our first PowerLoad system into one of our Patient Transfer Units!

We are the only non-EMS provider in Saskatchewan with this specialized equipment!

What does this mean and why does this matter?

It means safer, easier lifting for our Patient Transfer Specialists, and giving us the ability to transport bariatric patients that are 350 to 700 pounds without requiring multiple staff to facilitate the required lifting!

Our power stretcher for this system also has bariatric wings instead of side rails to increase the comfort of larger patients requiring this specialized service. This is yet another way we are setting the gold standard in catering to the needs of the patients living in the province!
