Quinte Patient Transfer Service, a trusted name in non-emergency medical transportation, is proudly marking its 20th anniversary this year, celebrating two decades of dedicated service to the Quinte region and beyond.
Founded in 2005, QPTS has grown from a small, locally operated company into a vital healthcare support provider, safely transporting thousands of patients each year to and from hospitals, long-term care homes, rehabilitation centres, and private residences across Ontario.
QPTS states it is committed to safety, dignity, and compassion in supporting patients and healthcare providers with reliable, around-the-clock service.
“For 20 years, our mission has remained the same: to deliver safe, compassionate, and professional care during every journey,” stated Stephen Andrews, Founder/CEO of Quinte Patient Transfer Service.
“This milestone is a testament to our incredible staff and the trust our community continues to place in us.”
QPTS is known for its highly trained staff, state-of-the-art fleet, and personalized patient care.
Operating 24/7, the service offers stretcher, wheelchair, and ambulatory transport, all delivered with dignity and attention to individual needs.
Over the past two decades, QPTS has expanded its partnerships with hospitals, long-term care facilities, and regional health networks, becoming a cornerstone in the patient care continuum.
“We are not just a transportation service—we are an extension of the healthcare system,” Andrews noted.
“Whether it’s helping a senior get to a dialysis appointment or reuniting a family member with loved ones at home, our team is there every step of the way.”
QPTS is investing in the future, including fleet upgrades, staff development, and technological improvements to enhance efficiency and patient comfort.
To mark this anniversary, QPTS will host a community appreciation event later this fall, honoring staff, healthcare partners, and the communities it proudly serves.
