Why

Northern Michigan has a transport gap.

Long distances, limited ambulance availability, provider shortages, and rising specialty-care needs place pressure on rural healthcare systems.

01Long transport distances

Patients often need services far from their local facility.

02Limited ambulance availability

Local EMS resources need to stay available for emergencies.

03Higher levels of care

Transfers may involve specialty, cardiac, trauma, surgery, or behavioral health care.

The problem

Patients need care. Ambulances need to stay local.

When local ambulances leave their communities for lengthy interfacility transports, emergency coverage can become limited. A dedicated transport model can help preserve local response capacity while improving access to higher levels of care.
