Patient Transport

A new solution derived from proven results

After 10 years of a successful Atlas Mobility Solution, NorthBay Healthcare asked Atlas to implement a pilot program specifically for patient transport, so nurses could focus on primary care tasks. After 3 years, it is an integral part of the NorthBay patient mobility experience.
