Louisiana Healthcare Network Coordination for New Orleans Transports

For veterans and their families: a VA medical center near New Orleans listed in the federal CMS directory is Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care System, listed above. That is a directory listing, not an affiliation; your coordinator will review the pickup, destination, and travel needs before booking a trip to or from that campus.

University Medical Center New Orleans is located at 2000 Canal Street. On a large downtown campus, the right departure point may not be obvious from the sidewalk. Ask your loved one's nurse or case manager where the family should meet the vehicle and which documents will go with them. A plain note with those answers, taped inside a folder or saved on a phone, keeps the morning of travel from turning into guesswork.

Facility address references for New Orleans include Ochsner Medical Center, University Medical Center New Orleans, and Tulane Medical Center. Additional statewide Louisiana facility references include Our Lady of the Lake. For an actual trip, use the exact sending and receiving addresses; a listing does not imply affiliation.

Bedside to bedside means the crew comes to the room, not the curb: the passenger moves onto the transport surface, belongings and equipment travel with them, the drive is broken by planned rest stops, families are updated as it progresses, and it ends with a handoff to staff in the destination room.

Statewide airport references include New Orleans (MSY), Baton Rouge (BTR), and Shreveport (SHV). If a trip includes separate air travel, provide the exact airport, terminal, and ground endpoints for coordinator review before booking.

Before You Request a Quote from New Orleans

Trips are planned, non-emergency, and cover 180 miles or more — a same-town or across-town ride is not what this service does.

Beyond that, the practical answer families want when they are comparing providers: we own the vehicles and run the trips ourselves rather than handing them to an outside carrier, so the crew that collects the passenger is the crew that delivers them.

Common questions about planning a long-distance, non-emergency move are answered on our frequently asked questions page.
