Modivcare Inc. (Nasdaq: MODV), a technology-driven healthcare services company focused on integrated supportive care solutions, has recognized New Jersey-based Joyful Medical Transportation, LLC for its outstanding service and commitment to patient care.
During a routine non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) trip in October 2024, Joyful Medical Transportation’s driver, Brandon Gaston, responded heroically when a pregnant passenger unexpectedly went into labor. Acting quickly, Gaston redirected the transport to the nearest hospital, ensuring the mother received timely medical attention. Thanks to his swift and decisive actions, hospital staff were able to safely assist in a successful delivery.
“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 illustrate the dedication our team brings to serving New Jersey members every day—not just as transportation providers, but as trusted partners in their care journey.”
Partnering with Modivcare since 2023, Joyful Medical Transportation operates with a small but impactful fleet of four vehicles, serving underserved populations across New Jersey. Modivcare has been managing the state’s NEMT program since 2009, providing access to care for over 2 million residents.
“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 in 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. We’re proud to have a team that prioritizes the well-being of every member and embodies our mission to connect people with the care they need.”
