Wheelchair Van Transport in Paramus, NJ
Paramus has two hospitals inside its own borders — The Valley Hospital on Valley Health Plaza, open since April 2024, and Bergen New Bridge Medical Center on East Ridgewood Avenue, the largest hospital in New Jersey. The distances are short; the driving is not. Delta Medical Transportation runs wheelchair-van trips through the Route 4 and Route 17 jughandles every day.

Paramus has two hospitals inside its own borders, and both are anchored to East Ridgewood Avenue. The Valley Hospital opened at 4 Valley Health Plaza on April 14, 2024, after moving out of Ridgewood. It sits on a 40-acre campus with the Robert and Audrey Luckow Pavilion across the street at 1 Valley Health Plaza, where the ambulatory infusion center is on the second floor, and the Medical Arts Pavilion behind the hospital at 140 East Ridgewood Avenue. Also on East Ridgewood Avenue, at number 230, Bergen New Bridge Medical Center has run since 1916 — New Jersey's largest hospital, with acute beds, behavioral health, a nursing home on campus, and an emergency department that grew from 19 to 47 treatment beds in February 2026.
Getting to care in Paramus is a driving problem, not a distance problem. Route 4 and Route 17 cross in the southern end of the borough, the Garden State Parkway runs through the north end at Exit 163, and for roughly three miles north of Route 4 the Route 17 corridor is lined with more than a hundred stores and three of Bergen County's six major malls — Garden State Plaza, Paramus Park and Bergen Town Center. Those are the same jughandled lanes patients use to reach dialysis and infusion appointments, and a left turn often means a loop. Bergen County's Sunday blue laws are the one real break: with most non-food retail closed, a Sunday discharge run moves through Paramus far faster than any weekday.
A wheelchair van is not an ambulance and not a stretcher vehicle. It has a ramp or a hydraulic lift, the passenger stays seated in their own manual or power chair, and the chair is locked to the floor with a four-point tie-down plus a separate lap and shoulder belt. Nobody is lifted, transferred or asked to stand. In Paramus that matters at the Valley parking deck off Winters Avenue, at the second-floor infusion center in the Luckow Pavilion, and inside the long-term care units at Bergen New Bridge, where the driver walks the passenger door-through-door rather than leaving them at a curb on East Ridgewood Avenue. Delta also runs stretcher and BLS ambulance service for patients who cannot sit upright. Call (973) 389-3110 for a free quote.
Every trip is quoted individually — distance, whether you need a return leg, stairs at either address, and the time of day all matter.

If a Paramus patient cannot sit upright for the journey, a wheelchair van is the wrong vehicle and we will arrange stretcher transport instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Paramus have its own hospital, or do patients have to travel out of town?
Paramus has two. The Valley Hospital at 4 Valley Health Plaza is the borough's newest, open since April 2024 after relocating from Ridgewood, with a 24/7 emergency department. Bergen New Bridge Medical Center at 230 East Ridgewood Avenue is New Jersey's largest hospital and runs its own around-the-clock emergency department alongside behavioral health and a nursing home on campus. Many Paramus residents still travel a few miles south to Hackensack University Medical Center on Prospect Avenue for specialty and surgical care.
Can you handle standing dialysis appointments in Paramus?
Yes — standing schedules are the bulk of our wheelchair-van work here. Fresenius Kidney Care Paramus at 37 West Century Road opens at 5 a.m. daily, so those pickups run before dawn. DaVita Paramus Dialysis at 820 North Route 17 sits on the retail strip, which means the ride has to be timed around Route 17 traffic and not just around the appointment. Same driver, same pickup window every treatment day, and we handle the ride home.
What is the difference between your wheelchair van and a stretcher van or ambulance?
In a wheelchair van the passenger stays upright in their own chair, rolled aboard on a ramp or lift and secured with a four-point tie-down plus a separate lap and shoulder belt. A stretcher van is for someone who has to lie flat for the trip. A BLS ambulance carries EMTs for patients who need monitoring or oxygen en route. Delta is New Jersey licensed for both wheelchair van (MAV) and BLS ambulance — most operators hold only the wheelchair-van license — so we send the vehicle that actually fits the patient.
Do you pick up from rehab and nursing facilities in Paramus?
Yes. We run discharges and recurring appointment trips out of CareOne at Ridgewood Avenue at 90 West Ridgewood Avenue — that address is in Paramus, not Ridgewood — and out of the long-term care units at Bergen New Bridge, and we coordinate directly with the discharge planner or unit clerk when a family prefers that. Trips do not have to end in Paramus. Delta is based in Totowa, covers all 21 New Jersey counties, runs 24/7, and has English, Spanish and Arabic speakers. Call (973) 389-3110 for a free quote.
