Across the bridges, daily

Philadelphia is not an add-on for us. The Camden and Cherry Hill health systems send and receive specimens, pathology, and pharmacy items to and from the University City and Center City campuses every day, and our South Jersey drivers cross the Ben Franklin and Walt Whitman bridges dozens of times a week. Tolls are included in every quote. No surprise line items.

University City and Center City hospital campuses

The largest hospital district in the region, with tight loading docks, badged access, and specimen receiving desks that move between buildings. Our drivers know where pathology receiving is versus core lab, which dock takes a van, and how to get a pharmacy item to a named nurse on a specific floor without circling the block for parking.

Main Line, Northeast, and the suburbs

Bryn Mawr, Wynnewood, King of Prussia, and Bala Cynwyd via I-76 and the Blue Route. Northeast Philadelphia and Bensalem via the Betsy Ross or Tacony-Palmyra bridges and I-95. Scheduled routes cover these daily; STAT response runs 60 to 90 minutes from Cherry Hill.

Pennsylvania and New Jersey requirements

Drivers on Philadelphia routes carry the same OSHA bloodborne pathogen and HIPAA training as everywhere else. Cross-state pharmacy deliveries follow the shipping pharmacy's state board rules and the receiving facility's requirements. We check both at account setup so the first delivery is not the first time anyone asks.

Philadelphia questions

How long does a STAT run from Camden to University City take?

Forty to sixty minutes from the call to the receiving desk in most conditions. The Ben Franklin Bridge and Vine Street Expressway are usually 20 minutes; the rest is pickup and navigating the campus.

Are bridge tolls extra?

No. Tolls are built into every Philadelphia quote and route rate.

Do you deliver to the Main Line hospitals?

Yes. Bryn Mawr, Wynnewood, Paoli, and King of Prussia via I-76 and the Blue Route, on scheduled routes and STAT.

Can you run New Jersey specimens to a Philadelphia reference lab overnight?

Yes. Overnight consolidated runs from South Jersey and Central Jersey collection sites to Philadelphia labs are a standard route type. Dispatch is staffed 24 hours.
