Non-Emergency Medical Transportation in Saddle Brook, NJ

That Parkway and Route 80 interchange is the reason Saddle Brook is such an easy township to run trips out of. From almost any street in this community of roughly 14,000, including the Coalburg and Passaic Junction neighborhoods along the Saddle River, a driver can be on a highway within minutes and headed toward care in either direction. East on Route 80 puts Bergen County's hospitals within reach; the Parkway and Route 46 open the Passaic County side. Delta Medical Transportation runs wheelchair van rides, ambulatory trips, and stretcher-level service across all of it, and many Saddle Brook residents book through Medicaid-covered non-emergency medical transportation.

No general hospital sits inside the township, so where a patient is headed decides the route. Hackensack University Medical Center is the closest major hospital, a short hop east. The Valley Hospital in Paramus and Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck sit farther up the county, while St. Mary's General Hospital is just over the Passaic line the other way. On a discharge day, a driver times the pickup to when the floor actually releases the patient, loads any equipment going home, and handles the paperwork at the desk. Trips back after surgery or a longer stay run through our hospital discharge service, and a patient who cannot sit up rides on our stretcher transport.

Standing appointments are a big part of the work here. Our dialysis rides keep patients on a fixed chair-time schedule at the Fresenius and DaVita centers around Hackensack and Paramus, week after week. Saddle Brook also has the Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation on Market Street, an inpatient rehab hospital known for its brain and spinal cord injury programs, and we bring patients to therapy and rehab appointments there regularly. Because the highway grid runs straight through the township, the same crossroads also lets us cover Lodi, Garfield, Elmwood Park, and Paramus without a long detour.
