At Helping Hands Warming Hearts (HHWH), our mission has always been rooted in compassion, safety, and dignity. As we continue to redefine standards in Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT), we’re proud to share a major step forward in our patient-centered approach: the integration of the Broda Traversa Transport Wheelchair into our services.
Meeting Patients Where They Are
In NEMT, every detail matters. From timely pickups to comfortable seating, the patient’s experience directly affects their health outcomes and trust in care providers. Recognizing a gap in mobility support for patients with higher acuity needs, HHWH sought an innovative solution to minimize transfers and ensure secure, seamless transport. That’s when we turned to the Broda Traversa.
Why the Broda Traversa?
Unlike traditional transport chairs, the Broda Traversa is designed with both functionality and dignity in mind. With its reclining positioning, pressure relief features, and superior stability, the chair accommodates a wider range of patients — including those who might otherwise need a stretcher or more intensive mobility assistance.
Key features that stood out to HHWH:
- Reclining comfort for medically fragile patients
- Crash-tested securement for safe transport in vehicles
- Tilt and positioning flexibility to reduce pressure sores
- Lightweight, maneuverable design for caregivers
A Game-Changer for NEMT Operations
Since integrating the Broda Traversa into our fleet, we’ve seen tangible improvements in both patient satisfaction and operational efficiency.
- Fewer transfers mean less risk and discomfort for patients
- Streamlined scheduling thanks to broader eligibility for chair transport
- Reduced need for stretcher vehicles, lowering costs while maintaining care standards
- Enhanced team training, equipping staff to deliver even more compassionate service
Human-Centered Outcomes
Perhaps the most powerful impact has been the emotional response from our patients and families. Clients who were previously limited in their mobility or anxious about transport now express relief, comfort, and trust. For them, the Broda Traversa isn’t just a chair — it’s a symbol of being seen, valued, and cared for.
Continuing to Lead with Innovation and Heart
At HHWH, we believe technology and empathy go hand-in-hand. The Broda Traversa is more than an equipment upgrade — it’s a reflection of our unwavering commitment to redefining what NEMT can look like. As we continue to grow, so will our investment in tools and training that ensure our clients experience the warmth and excellence that sets HHWH apart.
