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.
Airport-adjacent ground legs are available when families compare state-to-state medical transport against air ambulance cost. Airports commonly used with Rhode Island itineraries include Providence (PVD) and Boston Logan (BOS). Ground transport is often the practical middle path for stable patients who still need stretcher capability or clinical oversight en route.

Two limits decide service fit before anything else, so they are worth checking first: the passenger must be at least 21 years old, and cannot exceed 280 pounds. 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.
