Are your movers HIPAA trained?

Yes. Every crew member assigned to a healthcare move completes our HIPAA awareness training program before stepping foot in your facility. They understand protected health information, minimum necessary standards, and proper handling of patient records. We provide certificates of training upon request.

Can you move an MRI machine?

Yes. We handle both warm moves (maintaining the cryogenic field) and cold moves (requiring quench and refill) of MRI systems. We coordinate directly with the OEM — Siemens, GE, Philips — on disconnection, rigging, transport, and reinstallation. Our rigging team has moved MRI units weighing up to 25,000 pounds.

How do you maintain chain of custody for patient records?

Records are packed into tamper-evident sealed containers that are numbered and logged. A chain-of-custody form tracks every container from the packing location to the destination. Containers are transported in locked, GPS-tracked vehicles and signed for at delivery. We can provide a complete audit trail.

Can you keep our clinic operational during the move?

Absolutely. We specialize in phased moves that keep patient-facing areas open while back-office or administrative areas are relocated first. For multi-site practices, we can stagger moves across locations so patients always have somewhere to be seen during the transition.

What insurance coverage do you carry for medical equipment?

We carry $5 million in general liability and can procure additional cargo insurance for high-value medical equipment. For items like MRI systems, linear accelerators, or da Vinci surgical robots, we work with specialty insurers to provide replacement-value coverage for the duration of the move.

Compliance First

Moving Healthcare Without Compromising Care

HIPAA awareness training is completed by every crew member before they step into your facility. Our teams understand protected health information, minimum necessary standards, and the difference between a records box and a supply box.

Chain-of-custody protocols are built into every move plan. Tamper-evident seals, numbered containers, and documented transfer logs ensure every piece of patient information maintains its integrity from origin to destination.

Documented handling procedures for PHI are reviewed with your compliance officers before the move begins. We work alongside your team, not around them — coordinating with facilities, biomed, IT, and infection control throughout every phase.

Specialized Handling

Medical Equipment We Move

MRI Systems

Warm moves (maintaining the cryogenic field) and cold moves (quench and refill). We coordinate directly with Siemens, GE, and Philips OEM technicians on disconnection, rigging, transport, and reinstallation.

CT Scanners & Imaging

X-ray, ultrasound, and CT equipment transport with calibration verification at the destination. Every imaging unit is handled with the care its value and diagnostic precision require.

Lab Instruments

Centrifuges kept upright throughout transport, microscopes cushion-crated, and analyzers wrapped to factory specification. Sensitive diagnostic equipment arrives ready for immediate use.

Surgical Equipment

da Vinci robotic systems, surgical tables, and sterilization equipment transported with cleanroom protocols. We coordinate with your biomed team on disconnection sequencing and reinstallation.

Always Available

24/7 Because Healthcare Never Stops

Healthcare does not operate on a 9-to-5 schedule, and neither do we. Overnight moves between clinical shifts keep your facility operational while the relocation happens around patient care — not in spite of it.

Weekend administrative relocations let staff arrive Monday morning in a fully set-up workspace. We handle the furniture, the workstations, and the filing systems so your team handles the patients.

Phased moves keep patient areas operational throughout the entire transition. We sequence each phase around your clinical calendar, surgical schedule, and outpatient appointment load — moving what we can when patients are not present.

Client Reviews

What Healthcare Clients Say

“The entire process was seamless, smooth, and efficient. Cheri was incredibly thorough and transparent when she walked our home and provided a quote. Sergio, Angel, and Carlos did our packing and our moving — they were conscientious, professional, and delightful. Nothing was broken, nothing was missing.”

“The service was excellent from beginning to end. On the day of the move, the movers were professional, polite, hard working and most of all they listened. I have a couple pieces of delicate furniture and they took great care not only with those pieces but everything they moved.”

Michael S.

December 2025

“Wow!! What a great move! Flawless! Sergio, Ismael and Gabe were fantastic. They were fast, friendly, fun and professional. They put felt pads on all the furniture so the bamboo floors didn't get a single scratch. Excellent customer service all the way around.”
