About long distance rides in Point Loma
Some appointments are worth driving for. Sub-specialty care in Los Angeles, major surgery at a UCLA or USC facility, treatment trials at UC Irvine or City of Hope, or a family transfer to a hospital in the Inland Empire - patients and families call DayLight because they want the same trusted team, no matter how long the drive. We quote long-distance trips by route, time, and required vehicle, and always confirm the full cost before the day of travel.
Point Loma (serving zip codes 92106, 92107) is a core coverage area for DayLight. Point Loma is home to a strong veteran community and quick access to Naval Medical Center San Diego, the VA San Diego Healthcare System in La Jolla, and Sharp Memorial. DayLight provides wheelchair, ambulatory, and gurney transportation across Point Loma and Ocean Beach.
Long-distance trips are planned carefully. We build in bathroom and stretch breaks for ambulatory patients, coordinate with destination facilities for arrival logistics, and use two drivers on the longest gurney trips where applicable. Oxygen, positioning, and family ride-along needs are all accommodated when planned in advance.
