The history of Medical Transportation can be traced back to World War I where Field Ambulances transported those in need of medical care to facilities where they could be treated. This innovation moved into hospitals in the form of Medical Orderlies, and into the community in the form of ambulances. If you work in the medical industry one of the best ways for you to celebrate International Day of Medical Transporters is by taking on their role for the day. Work side by side with them as they move patients around the hospital, ride along with them as they take patients to their various appointments, and serve in an ambulance or ride along to see what the life of a Medical Transporter is like! You may find yourself having a new respect for the men and women who spend their lives protecting your health by being there to take you where you need to go to get the treatment you need.
