Common stretcher routes from Hawkesbury
Local stretcher routes are HGH to a home with a hospital bed, HGH to Residence Prescott et Russell at 1020 Cartier Boulevard, HGH to 900 Spence Avenue, or the reverse when a long-term care resident is admitted. Those few kilometres still require unit names because Block B clinics are the wrong staging point for an inpatient exit. Regional stretcher routes follow Highway 417 to Civic, General, or Montfort, or south to 840 McConnell Avenue in Cornwall. Gatineau’s hospital at 909 boulevard de La Vérendrye Ouest is a Quebec receiving campus for some bilingual families who already receive care on that side of the river. These rides are one-way more often than dialysis loops, so say whether a crew returns empty or stays for a procedure. Crossing the Long-Sault Bridge with a stretcher still needs a Quebec destination contact and a clear route note. Equipment traveling with the passenger, including oxygen, must be listed because it affects vehicle fit and CAD add-ons. Winter loading on Ghislain Street and at Ottawa doors adds time even when the map distance looks short.
Local guide
MedicalRide coordinates private-pay non-emergency medical transportation nationwide. Request stretcher transportation from Hawkesbury when the passenger cannot sit upright for the ride, needs a bed-to-bed transfer from an HGH inpatient, ICU, or complex continuing care space, or is moving between 1111 Ghislain Street and Residence Prescott et Russell, 900 Spence Avenue, or a regional hospital bed. Day-surgery or imaging patients who can sit usually need wheelchair or ambulatory vehicles instead. Orthopedic, ophthalmology, and endoscopy programs at HGH still produce discharges that cannot sit. Long-distance stretcher rides on Highway 417 to The Ottawa Hospital or Cornwall Community Hospital need more crew time, equipment, and a receiving-nurse contact. Bariatric needs use the CAD 699 baseline rather than assuming a standard stretcher. A ride is not final until availability, vehicle fit, pricing, and booking details are confirmed. The Canada quote-request form does not request a card now.
Stretcher trips need more detail than wheelchair trips because HGH units, winter loading on Ghislain Street, and receiving floors at 1020 Cartier Boulevard all have to line up. The hospital’s emergency entrance is the after-hours handoff, while daytime discharges may use a different door; naming the unit prevents a crew from staging at Block B clinics by mistake. Residence policy expects a relative to accompany a resident to off-site care, which does not remove the need for a stretcher vehicle if the person cannot sit. There is no public stretcher substitute: Community Services paratransit is for seated/reduced-mobility weekday trips, and PR Transpo is gone. Same-day discharges are common when HGH’s estimated time moves; CAD 95 same-day and stretcher wait at CAD 175 per hour after 15 minutes make a nurse callback more useful than sending a crew to wait in the lobby. Weight range, oxygen, IV poles that must be secured, and whether the destination has an elevator are acceptance details, not paperwork trivia.
Local stretcher routes are HGH to a home with a hospital bed, HGH to Residence Prescott et Russell at 1020 Cartier Boulevard, HGH to 900 Spence Avenue, or the reverse when a long-term care resident is admitted. Those few kilometres still require unit names because Block B clinics are the wrong staging point for an inpatient exit. Regional stretcher routes follow Highway 417 to Civic, General, or Montfort, or south to 840 McConnell Avenue in Cornwall. Gatineau’s hospital at 909 boulevard de La Vérendrye Ouest is a Quebec receiving campus for some bilingual families who already receive care on that side of the river. These rides are one-way more often than dialysis loops, so say whether a crew returns empty or stays for a procedure. Crossing the Long-Sault Bridge with a stretcher still needs a Quebec destination contact and a clear route note. Equipment traveling with the passenger, including oxygen, must be listed because it affects vehicle fit and CAD add-ons. Winter loading on Ghislain Street and at Ottawa doors adds time even when the map distance looks short.
List bed-to-bed versus door-to-door, stairs or elevator at origin and destination, passenger weight range, medical equipment, pickup floor, destination floor, discharge contact, timing window, and distance. CAD 150 bed-to-bed assistance applies when crews must move the passenger between beds at HGH and Cartier Boulevard or an Ottawa unit. Unknown stairs default toward CAD 95, which is cheaper than discovering a third-floor walk-up on Main Street after the stretcher is already on Ghislain Street. A power wheelchair traveling empty in the same vehicle is still an equipment note. If HGH is waiting on imaging or pharmacy, give a callback rather than a false exact time so CAD 175 per hour wait after 15 minutes is less likely. Receiving homes on Cartier Boulevard need a staff or family person at the door. Ottawa campuses need the pavilion or entrance name in addition to Carling Avenue, Smyth Road, or Montreal Road. MedicalRide coordinates private-pay non-emergency medical transportation nationwide.
Current stretcher planning rates are CAD 599 with 10 km included, then CAD 5.50 per extra kilometre. Worked example: CAD 599 stretcher base includes 10 km + 8 extra km x CAD 5.50 = CAD 599 + CAD 44 = about CAD 643 before add-ons for an 18 km HGH-to-home stretcher ride. Second example: CAD 599 + CAD 150 bed-to-bed = CAD 749 before kilometres beyond the included 10 km for a Ghislain-to-Cartier bed transfer that stays local. A 100 km Ottawa stretcher purpose ride is often planned on the long-distance table (CAD 399 + CAD 2.95/km) or as stretcher with extra kilometres, depending on the confirmed vehicle; do not treat either figure as a guaranteed invoice. After-hours CAD 75, weekend CAD 65, holiday CAD 95, same-day CAD 95, oxygen CAD 30, and CAD 175 per hour wait after 15 minutes are the add-ons that move Hawkesbury discharge totals most. Bariatric baseline CAD 699 then CAD 6.25 per extra km applies when weight or equipment needs that vehicle class.
MedicalRide is for private-pay non-emergency medical transportation. It is not an ambulance service. If the passenger has a medical emergency or needs medical monitoring during transport, call 911 or the appropriate emergency service. HGH’s emergency department treats emergencies in rooms designed for that work; this page does not sell that service. No medical monitoring is promised in a private-pay stretcher vehicle on Ghislain Street, Highway 417, or the Long-Sault Bridge. If oxygen needs clinical supervision, if the passenger is unstable, or if staff say ambulance transport is required, call 911 or ask the facility for the appropriate medical transport. A long distance to Ottawa does not convert a stretcher van into an ambulance.
Use the Canada form and state that the passenger cannot sit upright, plus bed-to-bed needs, weight range, HGH unit, destination bed, and callback number. If the receiving site is Residence Prescott et Russell or 900 Spence Avenue, include the desk phone and whether a relative is meeting the vehicle, because the home expects a companion for off-site care. For Ottawa or Cornwall, include the receiving unit and door, not only the city. Do not assume night discharge is automatically staffed; after-hours CAD 75 and confirmation still apply. MedicalRide coordinates private-pay non-emergency medical transportation nationwide. A ride is not final until availability, vehicle fit, pricing, and booking details are confirmed. The Canada quote-request form does not request a card now. Include oxygen, IV equipment that must be secured, and whether the destination elevator can take a stretcher so the crew is not surprised at Cartier Boulevard or an Ottawa pavilion.
