During a routine transport, New Jersey driver supported a pregnant passenger who went into labor

In October 2024, Joyful Medical Transportation went above and beyond to care for a member who went into labor during a scheduled routine non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) ride.

“We commend Brandon for his quick thinking and calm demeanor that helped display our team's unwavering commitment to care,” said Moses Adedeji, owner of Joyful Medical Transportation. “His actions are a powerful example of the dedication our team brings to serving our New Jersey members every day as not just transportation providers, but as trusted partners in their care journey.”

Modivcare serves more than 2 million New Jersey residents with its NEMT services and has managed the program for the state since 2009.

“This scenario speaks volumes about the attentiveness of a driver during a routine ride that turned emergent,” said Leroy Boone, Modivcare’s Senior Director of Transportation Operations, New Jersey. “Joyful Medical Transportation’s swift, safe, and compassionate action ensured both the mother and baby received the critical care they needed in time.
