Critical Care Transport (CCT), established in 2005, specializes in transporting critically ill patients from one medical facility to another within 150 miles of Huntsville Hospital. Transports exceeding 150 miles will be considered with advance arrangements. Complete arrangements for bedside-to-bedside transports are made by the Transfer Center.
Every transport includes both a registered nurse and paramedic to provide uninterrupted patient care. Depending on the patient’s needs, a critical care respiratory therapist or cardiovascular technician may also be asked to ride along.
