NEW YORK, Oct. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Ambulnz, Inc.,
d/b/a DocGo, a leading provider of last-mile mobile medical
services and integrated medical mobility solutions that has entered
into an agreement to merge with Motion Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq:
MOTN), announced it has extended its transportation services to
service veterans in Upstate New York. The contract with VA
hospitals and clinics, which went into effect on October 1, 2021, enables DocGo to elevate the
level of transportation services that veterans receive for
non-emergency appointments to hospitals, clinics and for other
specialized care throughout the region.
DocGo started its operations in Upstate New York in October 2020, providing paramedic services in
towns including Warwick and
Minisink. The partnership with VA Hudson Valley Health Care
System clinics further expands DocGo's mobile footprint in the
region, helping to ensure that veterans no longer miss medical
appointments due to transportation challenges, or have to wait an
excessive amount of time for transportation to arrive.
"We're thrilled to partner with VA Hudson Valley hospitals and
clinics and extend our popular transportation services to these
deserving veterans," said Michael
Witkowski, Chief of Operations at DocGo. "Historically, many
veterans have experienced challenges with transportation to and
from VA hospitals, clinics and appointments, with some waiting for
hours for transportation to show up. Our near-term goal is to
greatly improve response times and ensure exceptional care for
veterans in Upstate New York and across the country."
Witkowski credits his team of professionals for their commitment
to providing a positive health experience to VA hospitals and their
patients. "We are committed to providing patients with on-time,
quality care so they aren't waiting long to be transported or miss
a medical appointment because they didn't get picked up on time. We
plan to fix any existing service gaps and support these deserving
men and women who have given so much for our country."
With the contract kicking off early October, veterans should see
an immediate improvement in the quality of their transportation
services. "We're excited to work with VA to improve the
responsiveness of transportation services throughout the area and
expanding our presence in the region with additional services down
the road," added Witkowski.
