Emergency Transport - Neonatal & Pediatric

Kentucky Kids Crew is a specialty team that provides inter-facility (hospital-to-hospital) critical care transportation for both neonatal (newborn) and pediatric patients. We are the only transport team in the region exclusively dedicated to transporting newborns and children. Our team is directed by neonatologists and pediatric intensivists and includes:

• Critical care nurses trained in advanced procedures
• Emergency medical technicians who drive the ambulances used for ground transport
• A dedicated transport team on duty 24/7, ready to be mobilized immediately when a referring facility calls

The transport team utilizes state-of-the-art ambulances, helicopters and other equipment specially designed to meet the needs of our young patients. Our vehicles are equipped as mobile intensive care units that enable the team to provide neonatal and pediatric critical care.

If you need urgent care, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.

All patients transported by the Kentucky Kids Crew are admitted to Golisano Children’s at UK or the Makenna David Pediatric Emergency Department. We also provide transport service from our children’s hospital when the patient can be returned to their community hospitals or other facilities.

Kentucky Kids Crew has been providing ground and air transportation support to physicians and healthcare facilities throughout Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee and Ohio since 1979. In 2012, a contractual arrangement was made with PHI Air Medical to provide air transport service for UK in partnership with the Neonatal/Pediatric team, now known as Kentucky Kids Crew.
