How a STAT Run Works
When a physician is waiting on a specimen or a lab is holding an analyzer slot, there is no room for confusion. Here is what happens from the moment you call our dispatch line.
1. Call Dispatch
Call (713) 592-0000 — any hour, any day. A dispatcher takes your pickup location, destination, specimen type, and handling instructions, then assigns the run immediately. Our dispatch desk operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
2. The Right Container
Your courier arrives with a temperature-appropriate transport container — insulated or refrigerated to match the specimen type — so samples are protected from Houston heat from the very first handoff.
3. Chain of Custody
At pickup, the courier documents who released the shipment, when, and where. Every handoff is logged, so your facility can account for each specimen — and any protected health information — at every step of transport.
4. Direct Transport
A STAT shipment travels directly to its destination. On arrival, the recipient signs, and the delivery is confirmed with the time and receiver documented — a complete record from your door to theirs.
Not Every Run Is an Emergency
For routine work — daily lab sweeps, pharmacy restocking, and inter-campus record transfers — we build scheduled routes for multi-site hospital and laboratory systems, with complete routing and logistics planning handled by our dispatch team. Consistent scheduled service means drivers who learn your staff, your dock, and your protocols.

Specimen Integrity in Houston Heat
Houston's climate is unforgiving. Summer temperatures regularly top 95 degrees, and the inside of a parked vehicle can reach 140 degrees within an hour. For biological specimens, blood draws, tissue samples, and certain pharmaceuticals, that kind of heat exposure can render a shipment useless before it ever reaches the analyzer.
That is why every medical run leaves with an insulated or refrigerated transport container matched to the specimen type — and why our drivers are trained that a specimen container left on a seat in direct sunlight, even briefly, can compromise test accuracy.
Ambient
Room-temperature specimens and documents still need protection from cargo-area heat. Insulated containers shield ambient shipments through the worst of a Houston summer.
Refrigerated (2–8°C)
Blood draws and many clinical specimens travel refrigerated. Cold-chain containers hold the 2–8°C range from pickup through delivery, so your lab can trust what arrives.
Frozen
Frozen specimens ride in containers appropriate for frozen transport, keeping samples at the temperature your protocol requires for the full length of the run.
Where We Serve
From the Texas Medical Center to suburban hospital campuses, our medical couriers cover the entire greater Houston metro — with 24/7 dispatch across all of it.
Medical Campuses & Houston Neighborhoods
The Texas Medical Center is the largest medical complex in the world, and moving through it efficiently takes drivers who know the loading docks, the one-way streets, the parking restrictions, and the security protocols at each facility. We serve the TMC along with Memorial Hermann and HCA Houston Healthcare facilities, independent labs, physician offices, and clinics across the metro area.
Suburbs & Surrounding Counties
Healthcare in Houston doesn't stop at the Inner Loop, and neither do we. Our couriers run specimens, pharmaceuticals, and equipment between suburban hospital campuses, dialysis centers, outpatient clinics, and labs throughout the surrounding counties.
