🎉 This week marks the beginning of our partnership with Medical Transport Solutions (MTS), and we couldn't be more excited!

Their brand-new vans, friendly drivers, and knowledgeable staff made an incredible first impression. 🚐 It was wonderful seeing our aides greet the children as they arrived safely at the center.

❓Did you know that Medicaid covers 100% of transportation to and from our PPEC for eligible children? We believe that transportation should never be a barrier to receiving the skilled nursing care and therapies your child needs.

We're proud to partner with a company that shares our commitment to compassionate, dependable care. 🤝 MTS provides specialized transportation designed with children in mind. Each vehicle is equipped with child-specific safety features and staffed by professionals trained in pediatric care, ensuring every child travels safely, comfortably, and with the attention they deserve.

A huge thank you to the entire team at Medical Transport Solutions for making such a wonderful first impression. We look forward to many safe rides and smiling faces ahead! Check out their website for more information: https://www.mtsangels.com/ 💙

If you've been wondering whether PPEC might be right for your child, we'd love to answer your questions and help you learn more about our services.
