Patient transport business taking COVID-19 precautions

Jax Care provides transportation for non-emergency medical patients, and while COVID-19 could be a threat to its business, Jax Care co-owner Ken Elias told News4Jax they’ve been able to find a balance. Jax Care transports hundreds of patients a day, taking them to hospitals and nursing homes. Jax Care stays in contact with hospitals and nursing homes for updates on how to handle patient care. “One change is that patients where we would normally go into a facility and help a person from a bed into a wheelchair or a stretcher and transport them out, they are now meeting us at the door,” he explained.
