Have A Healthcare Shipment Emergency? See how Power Link will answer your call.

March 29, 2021

If you have an emergency and your shipment just has to get there quickly, Power Link can help.

Recently, a customer called us with a healthcare related emergency. Sadly, a baby at a hospital in Ottawa needed to be put on a ventilator. Unfortunately, the ventilator required was in Mississauga.

The customer called us that morning and told us about their predicament. We told them that we can help, and at 8:57am the customer placed the order. We picked up the ventilator at 9:41am in Mississauga, drove through the Toronto traffic and then straight to Ottawa. We delivered it to the hospital in Ottawa at 4:10pm. The customer and everyone else involved were very grateful, and we were very happy that we could help.

Requests like this are very urgent, but we specialize in urgent deliveries. It is always very satisfying for us to be of service, particularly in this case by helping a family and their medical staff in their time of need.

If you have an urgent request and your item just has to get there quickly, no matter what, just give us a call. We are here to help.
