A local NEMT service offers significant logistical advantages.
Safety
As a veteran commercial helicopter pilot, I've learned that safety is more than careful planning, clear procedures, and rigorous training; it's about defining a high standard and achieving it every day.
Salt Spring Mobility would bring that aviation safety philosophy to NEMT.
Comfort
Patient comfort matters just as much as safety. A medical trip off-island can be stressful, especially for older patients or those living with memory loss or confusion.
Because we live here, our patients would see a familiar face: someone who knows the island, gives them time to settle in, and, wherever possible, drives them again on later visits. That kind of continuity helps patients arrive calmer and better prepared for their appointments.
