Rehabilitation Transport in Gerstetten
From Gerstetten in the district of Heidenheim, the route to treatment runs via the L 1164 and the B 466. Heidenheim Hospital is 18 minutes away. A patient transfer is not a taxi ride with a prescription. We drive right up to the correct entrance, accompany you inside and stay for as long as the treatment takes.
